Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Is speed of integration really a success factor of mergers and acquisitions? : an analysis of the role of internal and external relatedness

Notes: Previous research on mergers and acquisitions has neglected the issue of speed of postmerger integration by and large. This paper argues that there are benefits and detriments associated with speed of integration. Thus, in some situations speed may be highly beneficial whereas in others it may be harmful to the success of a merger or acquisition. It is argued that the benefits and detriments of speed of integration depend on the magnitude of internal and external relatedness between the merging firms prior to the merger or acquisitionRelated records: En: Strategic management journal. - Chichester [etc.] : Wiley. - Vol. 27, nº 4, April 2006 ; p. 347-367Materia / lugar / evento: Estrategia empresarial Estructura empresarial Fusión de empresas Adquisición de empresas Procesos de integración Other categories: 922.111
