Abstract:
In today's corporate climate big turnaround plans take place by merger
and acquisition. Mergers and Acquisitions are currently perceived to be
the best method for expanding a business, and the banking industry is
executing this model of business expansion more aggressively and this
trend has been observed after 2017 to minimize the operational cost and
complication and toenhance marginal profitability. This research paper
assesses the impact of mergers and acquisitions on the number of bank
branches and employeesfrom 2017 to 2020 in India's biggest bank,the
State Bank of India. In this article, we examined whether some
significant change took place in theNumber of Employees and Number
of Branchesbefore and after the merger of SBI and found out an
improvement in both. It has been observed, contrary to expectation, that
Number of Employees and Branches both realized an upward trend after
the merger. In this analysis, the linear regression technique was used to
predict the future value of the Number of Employees and Number of
Branches in SBI bank.
