Abstract

Mergers and acquisitions represent a popular strategic choice companies rely upon to respond to external complexities and reconfigure business models. So far, scholars have been primarily concerned with their effects on shareholders. Their centrality represents a common thread in existing research that relies on shareholder value as a metric for gauging acquisition performance. However, acquisition practice provides a different paint with stakeholders other than shareholders playing a role. In this chapter we suggest to enlarge the domain of analysis by applying the stakeholder view and incorporating institutional settings. We therefore propose an institutionally embedded stakeholder view of acquisitions. We also discuss implications upon corporate social responsibility.
