Description
Book SynopsisAdvances 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 perspective. Such a broad and inclusive approach to mergers and acquisitions is not easily replicated in academic journals, with much narrower mandates and metrics.
Volume 22 of this annual series explores a range of issues relevant to a post-pandemic world– the cost-of-living crisis, energy insecurity, war in Ukraine and rising inflation are pushing many countries into recession, adversely affecting the global economy. This has led, and will continue to lead, to more downsizing, restructurings and inevitably to an increase in mergers and acquisitions.
This collection of new and current research highlights interesting behavioural themes as well as timely practical solutions to the dilemma of mergers and acquisitions failures. Advances in Mergers and Acquisitions Volume 22 is of interest to scholars in strategic management, organizational theory and behaviour who are studying questions around mergers and acquisitions. Doctoral students will benefit from access to the diversity of research that can trigger new research questions and expanded research agendas.
