Industry facts • New York Times, March 11, 2013: • “the dollar value of U.S. mergers and acquisitions so far this year is $233 billion, more than double last year. But there were almost 10 percent fewer deals than last year.“ • “Today's mergers and acquisitions are more about building up than cashing in.”

Revisit Banking operations- supply chain • Question: banks or subdivisions merged, how business performance is affected considering such a banking chain? How to achieve potential gains?

Merger gains (Ray, 2004)2-step process: harmony effect, scale effect
Mathematically • The efficiency of merger can then be measured as • denotes the harmony effect. • represents the scale effect. • potential gains from the merger of the two firms positive if > 1.
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) What • a linear programming to measure the efficiency of multiple decision-making units (DMU) when the DMUs present a structure of multiple inputs and outputs. • Different versions: Constant return to scale (CRS), Variable return to scale (VRS) How • Define DMU, input/output variables • Define the efficiencyfrontier. • A numericalweight coefficient isgiven to eachfirm, computingits relative efficiency.

Solution approach: 6 steps • Step 1: solve the DEA model for each chain and sub-chain, and construct the efficient input-output combination for each supply chain. • Step 2: Compute the average input bundle, intermediate output/input bundle and output bundle for each supply chain and members. • Step 3:Solve the series-chain DEA problem for the average input-output supply chain
Solution approach: 6 steps • Step 4: Compute the total input and output bundle of the N Series-chain models. • Step 5: Solve the merger chain DEA problem for the whole chain with input and output bundle • Step 6: Compute the sub-chain efficiency, merger efficiency for the whole chain, the harmony and scale components.
Theorems • Theorem 1. full two-stage chain is efficient if and only if the sub-chain members are both efficient. • Theorem 2. Merger of the full two-stage chain is efficient if and only if the mergers of the sub-chain members are both efficient. • Similar theorems hold for the case with many sub-chain members
chain with constrained resourcesHierarchical structure • Leader-follower relations Direct input Shared input Intermediate output/input Direct output Follower Leader The framework with limited resource E
A Canadian bank revist… • Constrained resource, leader-follower relation
Bilevel programming • Bilevel programming problem (BLP) : A hierarchical optimization problem consisting of two levels. • The upper level/ the Leader’s level/ the dominant level • The lower level/ the Follower’s level/ the submissive level • A Bilevel Linear Programming given by Bard (88) is formulated as follows:
System-subsystem relation • Proposition • The system efficiency is a convex combination of both the leader and follower efficiency. • The system is efficient iff the sub-systems are efficient. • Merging of the system is efficient iff merging of the sub-systems is efficient.
Incentive compatible ? • Dominant level (the Leader) gains much more potential improvement profit than what the lower level (the Follower) gains. • α -Strategy: To encourage the Follower to participate, the Leader promises to share α percentage of his profit to the Follower.
Incentive compatible-example • α -Strategy: The efficiency ratio of the Leader underα strategy The efficiency ratio of the Follower under αstrategy
