The Management of International Acquisitions

How much does national culture and management style influence acquisitions and post-acquisition management? The book explores the different ways in which companies from varying cultures and nationalities approach the task of integrating new UK acquisitions into their group, and examines the question of whether any one method of integration seems to be superior to another in terms of resultant performance of the newly-acquired subsidiary.

The Handbook of Mergers and Acquisitions (Oxford Handbooks)

With its inception at the end of the nineteenth century as a means of consolidation and reorganization, mergers and acquisitions (M&amp;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&amp;A as strategic moves, research on post-merger company performance suggests that most firms engaging in M&amp;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&amp;A activity when research results do not support the performance expectations of these undertakings? Alternatively, have M&amp;A scholars got it all wrong in the way that M&amp;A performance is measured? Is the topic too complex, enduring, and multifaceted to study? The Handbook argues that the field of M&amp;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&amp;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&amp;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&amp;A to provide thought-provoking, state of the art overviews of M&amp;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&amp;A practitioners and academics at the dawn of the third millennium.

Cooperative Strategy: Managing Alliances and Networks

Cooperation has become the leading strategy adopted by business and other organizations. It is taking on new forms that are adapted to changing market expectations and technological possibilities in the rapidly evolving business environment. This new edition of Cooperative Strategy provides a comprehensive view of the practical and theoretical literature concerning cooperative strategies, and the alliance and network organizational forms that are the enablers of these strategies. It takes the reader through the stages of developing a cooperative alliance, from choosing a cooperative form and selecting partners, to establishing an alliance and managing the process of cooperation. It examines cooperative strategies in different sectors as well as internationally, and discusses performance criteria and evolution of cooperation over time. With insights from internationally recognized experts on cooperative strategy, this book presents extensive research on the topic while also addressing practical issues of alliance management. Echoing the words of the famous social psychologist Kurt Lewin that 'there is nothing so practical as a good theory', the authors provide a sound understanding of the theory and research on cooperative strategy so as to inform its practice. In this respect, this new edition follows its predecessor as an essential resource for both students and managers alike.
