The human aspects of mergers and acquisitions receive less emphasis
than the more easily controlled financial aspects. A review of the
existing literature and research suggests that mergers and acquisitions
often fail or are sub‐optimal due to the neglect of these human aspects.
Outlines factors which lead to success. Recommends alternatives which
may minimize the behavioural problems, but this is unlikely to include
the joint venture, since it is quite similar to the full‐blooded merger
in many respects. Human and environmental issues will increasingly be on
the corporate charter.

Abstract
Mergers are a very important aspect of corporate growth. But so many mergers fail to achieve their aim. A lot of mergers won't produce value for the acquiring firms. Evidence and surveys have shown that corporate culture is very important for the success of mergers and acquisitions. This evidence also points to the fact that cultural differences are a very important factor that could lead to failures in mergers. Currently there is not much empirical evidence or theory on the importance of cultural differences for the performance of mergers and acquisitions. Though, there is a growing rate of interest in this area.

What makes the Advances in Mergers and Acquisitions series stand out is its focus on all three characteristics that make up this research field - studies from scholars in different countries, with different research questions, relying on different theoretical perspectives. Such a broad, and inclusive, approach to mergers and acquisitions is not easily replicated in academic journals, with much narrower mandates and metrics. The collections published each year provide cutting edge ideas by leading scholars on a global scale, broadening the questions being studied and helping researchers consider the inter-relationships among different perspectives. The best way to build understanding around a topic as diffuse as mergers and acquisitions is to be both integrative, and expansive, in choice of research questions and theoretical underpinnings. Advances in Mergers and Acquisitions offers this unique perspective, not easily found elsewhere.
