Abstract

Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are critical to achieving growth in intense globalisation for healthy and inorganic expansion of business firms. However, a relatively large number of M&A fail or can achieve suboptimal results. Previous studies that have attempted to analyse failed cases of M&A have focused on financial or strategy perspectives, thus not being able to explain the causes of failure. This accentuates the need to shift the focus to more qualitative human aspects that drive the social-cultural adjustment process in M&A. Our analysis of the impact of size on M&A (HR) outcomes shows a significant influence on the deal size. The content analysis and regression results of 48 cases show that large firms are able to better integrate, though the outcome varies across acquirer country-developed and developing. Tranching and deal size customisation can be strategic for optimal M&A HR outcomes.
