> Is there any large acquisition that succeeded in the last 10 years?

Lots. Of course, success is relative to for whom -- many of them work out well for shareholders of the acquired firm, many work out okay for shareholders of the acquiring firm, and the executives on both sides usually do well.

Of course, part of how it works out for those groups is that it, by design, doesn't work out well for the "human resources" that are production inputs.
