Mergers and acquisitions continue to be a primary vehicle of growth
for companies around the world. Not only in the United States and
Europe, but also in Japan, China, India, Brazil and elsewhere
senior executives are making huge bets on the future of their
firms. With such intense scrutiny in the world of business, it is
not surprising that academic research on mergers and acquisitions
has been similarly robust. The topics range from strategy, to
organizational integration, culture, leadership, human resource
planning, and financial analysis. Similarly, the theories brought
to bear to help understand mergers and acquisitions range from
upper echelons theory to the resource based view of the firm,
competitive analysis, organizational trust, networks, knowledge
management, and others.
What makes the Advances in Mergers and Acquisitions series stand
out is its focus on all three characteristics that make up this
research field---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 collections published each
year provide cutting edge ideas by leading scholars on a global
scale. Doing so not only broadens the questions being studied, but
also helps researchers consider the inter-relationships among
different perspectives. In the final analysis, the best way to
build understanding around a topic as diffuse as mergers and
acquisitions is to be both integrative, and expansive, in choice of
research questions and theoretical underpinnings. Advances in
Mergersand Acquisitions offers this unique perspective, not easily
found elsewhere, that will help scholars think about mergers and
acquisitions in new ways, building our knowledge base on this
critical topic. In light of the enormous sums being invested in
growth-via-acquisition strategies around the world, academic
research on mergers and acquisitions has never been more important.
