Abstract
Using structured interviews with corporate presidents and surrogates, we obtained data on eight firms and their 16 acquisitions. Their postacquisition performance was analyzed with regard to the original motives behind the acquisitions. Factors which affected performance are explored and policy suggestions for successful acquisitions are presented.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
