Fusões e aquisições no setor de sementes e agroquímicos: uma análise do caso Dow-DuPont

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the mergers and acquisitions strategy used by companies in the seed and agrochemical sector, seeking to understand more specifically the results obtained in the post-merger period. This work is concerned with studying the financial results after an incorporation process, seeking to identify possible synergies that have been generated. The methodology used for a specific study of the case of incorporation of the company DowDuPont Inc. that occurred in 2017. The results obtained prove the initial hypothesis, despite the expectation of synergies in the mergers and acquisitions processes, companies that carry out these operations need to be prepared so that in the short term they will have to deal with more difficulties resulting from the process than beneficial results. However, this allows us to conclude that although it is expensive, it may be the best strategy to be followed by companies.
