Beschreibung
Kai Oliver Thiele analyses M&As between companies from different cultures, which in general impose unique challenges, but also offer invaluable opportunities for all parties. Since Japan lags expectations regarding the amount of cross-border M&As, it is the more important to understand the drivers of successful cross-border acquisitions coming into the country. However, how the employees’ view on a merger can be successfully managed to leverage the M&As’ success rate remains yet unanswered. By focusing on the employees’ needs, this research seeks to contribute positively to an increase of the cross-border M&As’ success rate.
