Three Decades of Research on the Role of Experience in Mergers and Acquisitions: A Systematic Review

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

This paper offers a systematic review of the literature published over the period 1985-2016 across different disciplines on the role played by experience in the context of acquisitions. Differently from previous literature reviews on this topic, this review adopts a broader perspective that encompasses both firm-level and individual-level experience and covers research on both acquisition behavior and acquisition performance. A framework for positioning existing literature is provided and a research agenda is outlined.
