The State of Post Acquisition Performance Literature: Where to from Here?
Abstract
The performance of firms after an acquisition is a central question for strategic management and is clearly of interest to managers considering an acquisition. A growing body of research has considered the question of post-acquisition performance; however, as a whole existing research in this area is largely a theoretical and the findings are equivocal. Organizational renewal is suggested as a potential theoretical lens, and a review of existing research identifies challenges and opportunities for future research on identifying factors driving post-acquisition performance.
