520 _aAcquisitions are crucial for firm's growth strategy with various motivations such as economies of scale, new product or technology acquisition, introduction in new markets and increasing market share. These motivations are applicable in the financial services sector.

Research on predicting acquisitions over the previous four decades has been developed using traditional statistical modeling.
