Abstract

In addition to internal growth processes firms also have the opportunity to increase their size through mergers. Indeed, during certain periods this has been a very popular means of expansion leading to an increasing concentration of activity amongst a declining number of firms. However, previous studies suggest that the impact of mergers on firm performance is not generally clear. There is still much debate as to what are the conditions that are necessary for a merger to be successful in the long run.
