Problem 12E
History of corporate acquisitions. A corporate acquisition occurs when one corporation purchases all the stock shares of another, essentially taking over the other. The Academy of Management Journal (Aug. 2008) investigated the performance and timing of corporate acquisitions for a large sample of firms over the years 1980 to 2000. The accompanying data table gives the number of firms sampled and number that announced one or more acquisitions during the years 1980, 1990, and 2000. Construct side-by-side bar charts to describe the firms with and without acquisitions in the 3 years. Compare and contrast the bar charts.
