With its inception at the end of the nineteenth century as a means
of consolidation and reorganization, mergers and acquisitions
(M&A) have since become quasi-institutionalized as one of the
primary strategic options for organizations, as they seek to secure
their position in an ever more competitive and globalizing market
place. Despite the optimism surrounding M&A as strategic moves,
research on post-merger company performance suggests that most
firms engaging in M&A activity do not achieve the sought-after
performance targets, either immediately or in the years following
the deal. What is it that drives M&A activity when research
results do not support the performance expectations of these
undertakings? Alternatively, have M&A scholars got it all wrong
in the way that M&A performance is measured? Is the topic too
complex, enduring, and multifaceted to study? The Handbook argues
that the field of M&A is in need of a re-rooting: past research
needs to be critically reviewed, and fundamental assumptions
revisited. A key issue preventing efforts in the practice and study
of M&A from achieving dynamic syntheses has been the
disciplinary gulf separating strategy, finance, and human relations
schools. The Handbook aims to bridge the hitherto separate
disciplines engaged in the study and practice of M&A to provide
more meaningful results. Toward this end, the Handbook brings
together a set of prominent and emerging scholars and practitioners
engaged in the study of M&A to provide thought-provoking, state
of the art overviews of M&A through four specific 'lenses' -
strategic, financial, socio-cultural, and sectorial approaches. By
summarizing key findings in current research and exploring ways in
which the differing approaches could and should be 'synthesized',
it aims to highlight the key issues facing M&A practitioners
and academics at the dawn of the third millennium.
