Introduction / Cary L. Cooper, Sydney Finkelstein -- Are all mergers and acquisitions treated as if they were alike? : a review of empirical literature / Olimpia Meglio, Annette Risberg -- Organisational commitment in acquisitions / Mélanie Hassett -- Merger, she wrote : improvising on the script of identification processes during mergers / Mark van Vuuren -- Cultural similarities and differences : impacts on performance in strategic partnerships / Gavriel Meirovich -- A comparative anatomy of two cross-border acquisitions by Teva pharmaceutical industries / Shlomo Yedidia Tarba, Tamar Almor, Haim Benyamini -- The use of accounting-based measures in measuring M&A performance : a review of five decades of research / Ioannis C. Thanos, Vassilis M. Papadakis -- Vertical versus horizontal integration in the biopharma industry : the link between acquisition announcements and stock market performance / Anne S. York, Lee M. Dunham, Mark Ahn -- For better or for worse : can M&As benefit from marriage counselling? / Adrian McLean, Alistair Moffat -- A social network view of post-merger integration / Terrill L. Frantz.
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 Mergers and 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.
