Overview: Mergers and Acquisitions (M&As) take place to achieve economies of scale and maximize shareholders’ returns. In recent years, CEOs have shown an urge for M&As. The paper argues that this urge is mainly to benefit themselves rather than the shareholders. M&As mean ‘big’ money for the CEOs since the same signify consolidation of assets. The paper examines the nuances of this overconfidence of CEOs in the M&A activity.
