Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) for business can be regarded as a risk-taking activity for a growth company. So, this study adopts a behaviour-oriented risk management approach to examine failure risks arising from the M&A in the Taiwan context. Risk communication strategy is a major tool of that approach. In order to communicate risks arising from M&A to employees, furthermore, to achieve a successful post-merger integration, this study identifies a variety of risks from the post-merger integration, examines the differences between risk estimation and risk evaluation, and investigates a number of risk communication strategies for the target case by use of a questionnaire survey. Meanwhile, this thesis also investigates risk management on the post-merger transition structure. / Thesis (DBA(DoctorateofBusinessAdministration))--University of South Australia, 2007

The Australian financial system has changed dramatically in recent years, creating both threats and opportunities for value adding activities. Many large corporations have set up a separate treasury division or department to handle their financing requirements. This thesis derives the rationale for a separate treasury function from theory of the firm. A framework has been developed by drawing upon both the old theory of the firm (transaction cost economics) and the new theory of the firm (agency theory) to determine the appropriate governance structure to manage financial arrangements.
