Among the significant repercussions of the coronavirus pandemic is escalating public questioning of the desirability and sustainability of the market economy and the societal role of business. These concerns are linked to merger and acquisition (MandA) activity, with significant disruptive consequences for stakeholder relationships and their management. This book explores these changes, moving away from the traditional focus on the financial and strategic aspects of MandA and its rational, technocratic approach.Viewing MandA activity as economic, political, and social (EPS) processes, Segal provides a dialectic understanding of stakeholder relationships around MandA activity and challenges the view that MandA activity is static, linear, and predictable. He develops a conceptual framework to enable practitioners, researchers and policymakers to identify, understand and address the stakeholder and management implications of MandA activity. This is applied to four case studies that make explicit how complex stakeholder relationships play out around MandA and how these power dynamics were managed with different balances.Useful for academics, researchers, managers, advisors, investors, analysts, and other stakeholders, this book highlights the need to understand the EPS implications and processes involved around MandA.…

Useful for academics, researchers, managers, advisors, investors, analysts, and other stakeholders, this book highlights the need to understand the EPS implications and processes involved around M&A.
