Mergers, acquisitions and partnerships are risky endeavors for managers, as well as workers. Sometimes these transactions favor one group over another, or end up being disastrous for both groups. Other times, however, the deal turns out great for everyone.
A good example of the latter is the October 2015 agreement between Mitsubishi Heavy Industry Group and Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. (M&M) that gives M&M a one-third ownership share of Mitsubishi Mahindra Agricultural Machinery Co. Ltd. (MMAM). Founded in 1980, the company designs and manufactures a wide range of agricultural machinery, such as tractors, combine harvesters and rice transplanters.
