Advances in Mergers and Acquisitions cover

Advances in Mergers and Acquisitions stands out from the competition due to its focus on three key characteristics: studies from scholars in different countries, with different research questions, relying on different theoretical perspectives. Such a broad and inclusive approach to mergers and acquisitions is not easily replicated in academic journals, with much narrower mandates and metrics. The chapters published in this volume provide cutting edge ideas by leading scholars, and help to inform mergers and acquisitions research around the world.

This volume contains eight essays by business and economics scholars from Europe, Asia, and the US, who consider aspects of mergers and acquisitions: ethnographic methods for studying them; whether company performance improves after a merger or acquisition; the role of Japanese firms' announcement of mergers and acquisitions budgets; cross-border mergers and acquisitions in related and technology-intensive industries; the impact of business news reports on acquirer short-term performance; acquisitions as a form of corporate entrepreneurship; the influences of social media on human resources in mergers and acquisitions; and retention strategies in mergers and acquisitions processes. -- Annotation ©2018 * (protoview.com) *
