Abstract:Whether a planned Mergers and Acquisitions (M&As) transaction will prove beneficial in future or not has been the issue of ongoing debate amongst corporate. The present study, thus, focuses on Indian Telecom Industry to analyse the acquirer firms' performance in creating shareholders value in the post-M&A scenario with respect to utilising capital before the M&A. This research paper studies the shareholders value effects of M&As in the Indian Telecom Industry that took place during the period of 2000-2001 to 2009-2010. Accounting-study methodology has been undertaken to study the shareholders value creation in the long-run post-M&A period. The results of the study show that the acquirer firms, before utilising capital for large-scale M&As as a part of their strategic decision process, do not rationally acknowledge whether the firms are capable of creating or rather protecting the shareholders' value in the post-M&A scenario.
There are various individual factors that impact child diarrhoea-related behaviours among primary care seekers. Behavioural factors, social norms, economic considerations, access to healthcare, gender, etc., are some of the factors that can impact the treatment-seeking behaviour of the parents for their children who are suffering from diarrhoea. This article also establishes the relationship between open defaecation as a social behaviour and the incidence of child diarrhoea. Other than this, the relationship between open defaecation and child nutritional indicators is also established through substantive evidence. Open defaecation is known to have significant health impact, especially on children. Children from ODF distrcits are also significantly less wasted and under weighing than children from Non-ODF districts. However, the open defaecation free (ODF) status showed no significant impact on stunting in the current study.
