Description: 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.
Review Quotes: Business, management, and other researchers from the US, UK, Asia, Europe, and Canada provide 10 essays on aspects of mergers and acquisitions, including pre-merger/acquisition, strategic decisions, post-merger/acquisition, and ethical issues. They discuss firms with strategic alliances that are moving into acquisitions, the management styles of organizations, the decision to retain and reduce human resources, strategic investment appraisals, the role of special purpose acquisition companies, how business model relatedness influences performance implications in mergers and acquisitions, training during the transition stage, the PMI (post-merger integration) risk framework for classifying and identifying risks that might inhibit post-merger success, post-merger order negotiation, and ethical evaluations of the impacts of mergers and acquisitions.--Annotation (c)2017 "(protoview.com)"
