R. Larsson et S. Finkelstein, Integrating strategic, organizational, and human resource perspectives on mergers and acquisitions: A case survey of synergy realization, ORGAN SCI, 10(1), 1999, pp. 1-26
This paper is exciting because it synthesizes several theoretical perspecti
ves into an integrative model and addresses a very significant topic-merger
s and acquisitions-with a sharp eye towards clear managerial relevance and
with innovative methods. I expect it to become a defining paper in M&A rese
arch.
