Economic circumstances like the recession and cut-throat competition in recent years have now forced companies to pay closer attention to their corporate policies and strategies for dealing with economic opportunities and for remaining one step ahead of competition. This is true for the highly industrialized economies as it is for less developed countries where multinational, transnational and local companies compete vigorously with one another for market share and for good corporate image, by identifying and in some cases helping to shape public policy for the greater good of the communities in which they operate. This study focused on Legal and Management Strategies: The Synergy for Survival and Growth of Companies in Nigeria. It is comprised of five chapters beginning with general introduction, objectives of the research, justification, scope, methodology, literature review, and organizational layout. Also the study indicates determinants of company survival, for example, the quality of resources − human resources, material resources, financial resources, the quality of resource management, damage and waste control systems, the quality of time and opportunity management, contingency and emergency management, determinants of company growth, internalization of technology, in-house development of human resources: in-service training, incentives for skill enhancement and creation of credit worthiness. The study appraises survival and growth of three successful companies, such as Unilever Nigeria Plc, Neimeth International Pharmaceutical Plc and GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Nigeria Plc and recommends survival and growth strategies for companies in Nigeria.
1.1 Introduction
Synergy is the aspect of corporate strategy, corporate finance and management dealing with the combining of different companies that can aid, finance or help a growing company in a given industry to grow rapidly without having to create another business entity. One or more companies may merge with an existing company through consolidation. The new single company will inherit the assets and liabilities of the separately existing companies which are then wound up. Synergy is consummated by exchange of shares among the merging company’s shareholders (Nwude, 2003).
