Ítem $2.6BN marriage of Ebay and Skype ended in divorce(Universidad EAFIT, 2019) Zuluaga Arbeláez, Juan Sebastián; Gaitán Riaño, Sandra ConstanzaeBay acquired Skype for $2.6 billion in 2005, which was a very high price compared to Skypes revenues of only $7 million. The acquisition was meant to boost eBay’s revenues, by making it more convenient for buyers and sellers to communicate on the auction platform. Shared benefits were seen to increase the number of users for Skype and enhance the features available for eBay users within its platform. Unfortunately for eBay, their customers did not find any use for Skype’s technology, which was initially intended to connect sellers and buyers quicker and make communication easier. After years of trying, the acquisition led to a write-down of the value of Skype in eBay’s books and finally (and luckily for eBay) led to a sale to Microsoft. Microsoft acquired Skype and created its division within the company that reported directly to Microsoft’s CEO. The company has adopted a passive stance to materialize the synergies while being conservative of Skype strategy, brand, and user experience. Different independent sources categorize this deal as a success. Our analysis highlights the approach Microsoft took for the governance of the collaboration and how it was adapted to the sources of potential joint value and the major capabilities of Skype business model and competitive position.Ítem Fusiones y adquisiciones en el contexto del sector financiero colombiano : medición de su efectividad desde un enfoque financiero(Universidad EAFIT, 2024) Valencia Jaramillo, Steven; Arrubla Valencia, Jonatan; Arango Mejía, Juan ManuelThe research addresses the phenomenon of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in the Colombian financial sector from 2010 to 2023, a period characterized by intense banking consolidation activity, which was driven by the search for operational efficiency, market expansion and competitive strengthening. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of M&A in terms of value creation for the involved entities and their impact on the country's economic development. This paper questions whether those operations act as true catalysts for value or, conversely, dilute corporate value and negatively affect the market dynamics. The theoretical framework is based on the Market Efficiency Theory, the Synergy Theory, the Diversification Theory, and the Theory of Shareholder Wealth Maximization. Together, they allow a deep look into the dynamics and impact of M&A in the financial sector. The research methodology combines descriptive and experimental approaches to assess the impact of M&A on critical financial management indicators. Data was collected through an exhaustive review of primary and secondary sources, followed by a quantitative analysis using descriptive statistics, the Difference in Differences (DiD) model, regression analysis, and correlation. Such quantitative analysis was processed via the statistical software R. This approach allows for a detailed evaluation of the impact of M&A on the profitability, productivity, operational efficiency and solvency of Colombian financial entities, as well as of their effect on market competitiveness and national economic development.Ítem La importancia y el impacto del riesgo operativo en operaciones de fusiones y adquisiciones(Universidad EAFIT, 2020) Orozco Rendón, Sebastián; Gaitán Riaño, Sandra ConstanzaPublished studies by important journals like Harvard Business Review and consultancy firms like PWC, Mckinsey and JP Morgan reveal that, on average, mergers and acquisitions fail 70% in a market that exceeds transactions for more than 3 trillion dollars a year.

In addition of demonstrate that the operational risk mostly associated with the banking and financial institutions can be measured for different industries and will help us to find the risk factors that negatively impact on an M&A.Ítem Riesgos estratégicos en el proceso de adquisición en empresas multinegocios = Strategic risks in the acquisition process in multi-business companies(Universidad EAFIT, 2019) Gómez Ocampo, Johan Eduardo; López Perafán, Marcela; Zambrano Burbano, Sthefanny; Rivas Montoya, Luz MaríaThe purpose of this article is to compare the perceptions of executives, administrators and leaders of risks of two multibusiness companies to identify the internal strategic risks associated with three stages of the acquisition process. Acquisitions are one of the growth strategies used by multi-business companies that involve taking risks that can affect the viability and sustainability of these organizations. The most relevant strategic risk in the pre-acquisition stage, according to risk leaders, is the analysis and development of due diligence; In the case of integration, according to the administrative profile, the most relevant strategic risk is associated with the mainstreaming of the processes between the acquiring and acquired companies. And, finally, in the assimilation stage, according to the directors, the most significant strategic risk was identified, the difficulty of aligning the business units. This work also seeks to support management in the administration of strategic internal risks in acquisition processes of the multibusiness company and contributes as an academic reference for future lines of research.
