Abstract Title: How can ASSA ABLOY develop its M&A analysis with regard to supply chain synergies? Authors: Axel Johnsson and Erik Hellberg Supervisor: Andreas Norrman Examiner: Louise Bildsten Background: Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are majorly conducted with the ambition and endeavour of realizing synergies, thereby enabling the merged corporation to generate greater value compared Supply chain synergy analysis – A framework for operational M&A BY AXEL JOHNSSON & ERIK HELLBERG (May 2025) Potential synergistic effects are crucial to the decision of whether M&A transactions should be completed or not, and could be the difference between a failed and successful deal. This is why the study has produced a framework for comprehensive and accurate supply chain synergy

För köparen är ett företagsförvärv förknippat med risker av flera olika slag, vilket inte minst beror att säljaren i regel har bättre kunskap om målbolagets värde och de risker som verksamheten är förenad med. Genom att besiktiga målbolaget och kräva att säljaren utställer garantier ges köparen dock en möjlighet att hantera riskbilden. En effekt av företagsbesiktningen är att köparen riskerar att

En ökad efterfrågan på miljövänliga energialternativ har resulterat i att allt fler länder börjat utvärdera sina geotermala tillgångar. En bidragande orsak till det ökade geotermala intresset är förändrade krav som ställs på geologin och hydrologin med dagens moderna EGS-anläggningar. Med EGS-tekniken (Enhanced Geothermal Systems) skapar man idag konstgjorda reservoarer, för fjärrvärme- och elprodThe increasing demand for eco-friendly energy alternatives and the changing requirements of state of the art EGS-plants (Enhanced Geothermal Systems) have set the mark for many countries to start evaluating their geothermal assets. By using the EGS-technique, artificial reservoir providing district heating and electricity are created around the world by stimulating the bedrock hydrostatically with

A reduced-order through-flow program has been developed at the Lund Institute of Technology. The goal of the work was to develop and verify a program suitable for scientific studies of coaxial turbines. The program has built-in capability for multiple choked stages, and turbine cooling, as well as flexible modules for state, losses, deviation, and blockage. The code uses Matlab [trademark] as a pl

This study contributes to the literature discussing food security in China. This study holds food security to rest on two complementary dimensions: food availability and food accessibility. This study looks at both dimensions. It examines the food availability dimension by evaluating the effects of government’s expenditures on agricultural science & technology on China’s grain output. Running

Our ever-changing world has to a great extent created a need of efficient financial risk-management programs for financial institutions and corporations operating in a demanding international environment. These changes have however also increased the types of financial tools and derivatives used to handle the multifold macroeconomic exposures. Companies have therefore diversified opportunities to

Groundwater, as a vital water resource in arid and semi-arid regions, plays a crucial role in sustaining human livelihoods, agriculture, and industry. Over recent decades, these areas have witnessed rapid groundwater depletion, raising concerns about resource sustainability. This research provides a comprehensive analysis of the factors contributing to the decline in groundwater levels (GWL) withi

Animals live in diverse environments and have evolved to cope with environmental challenges in different ways. How such adaptations shape overall brain morphology is still unclear. Here, we test how two behavioural adaptations – circadian activity pattern and migratory behaviour – are reflected in the brains of moths and butterflies (Lepidoptera). We predicted that circadian activity pattern affec

This chapter analyses floating charges in the Nordic countries, focusing on Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland. Nordic property laws are known for their functional approach, and while property law rules in the Nordic countries are generally fragmentary, Nordic security rights laws are more codified. The four Nordic countries all have floating charges (or equivalent security rights). The chapter d
