M&A v České republice: procesní fáze, vývoj a případové studie

This bachelor’s thesis examines mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in the Czech Republic. The theoretical part defines key concepts and the motives behind M&A transactions, and describes their process phases. The practical part analyses the development of M&A activity in the Czech Republic over the period 2015–2025 in terms of transaction volumes and deal counts, sector structure, comparison with the Central and Eastern European region, and selected macroeconomic factors. The final part of the thesis covers two case studies, the acquisition of the GasNet Group by ČEZ Group and the acquisition of Colt by CZG Group. Both transactions are assessed as strategically successful based on the available data. The GasNet acquisition diversified ČEZ Group’s revenues towards stable, regulated segments and significantly expanded its regulatory asset base, while the Colt acquisition more than doubled CZG Group’s revenues and substantially strengthened its position in the North American market.
