Sustainable development and financial technology help mergers and acquisitions to be fair and transparent
[Reporters Gao Jiahe, Wang Menglun, Wu Xintian/Taipei Report] Lin Meng Shiang, associate professor of the Department of Financial Technology Application at Ming Chuan University, started from the perspective of effective governance structure and technological assistance, and believed that the application of technological management tools is not a way for directors to evade responsibility. Instead, it is a key tool to ensure the transparency and fairness of the M&A process. He emphasized that during the M&A process, the board of directors must be accountable to the interests of shareholders and other stakeholders with strict standards to ensure that all decisions are in the best interests of the company and shareholders.
Lin Meng Shiang pointed out that the ESG advocated internationally, including environment, society and governance, are equally important in corporate governance and should not be neglected. In terms of the application of financial technology, he mentioned that the development of technologies such as blockchain and virtual currency can enable financial institutions to more effectively disclose key information, ensure the openness and timeliness of information during the merger and acquisition process, and help consumers weigh investment decisions.
In addition, Lin Meng Shiang believes that in terms of the efficiency of large-scale mergers and acquisitions, these transactions can form companies with larger scale (such as geographical scope) and scope (such as expansion of operating locations, launch of new products after integration, integration of supply chains, etc.). This in turn drives operational improvements and growth.
Success depends on governance structure and cultural integration Lin Meng Shiang emphasized that the success of financial mergers and acquisitions depends on a clear governance structure and cultural integration. The board of directors must establish a set of clear guiding principles; these measures will help promote the long-term development of the company and Occupy a favorable position in the global market.
