| contents | AN OVERVIEW OF THREE DECADES OF MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS RESEARCH Nuno Rosa Reis Fernando Carvalho José Vasconcelos Ferreira Administración y Contabilidad Literature Review Bibliometric Study Corporate Takeovers Mergers and Acquisitions Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) have long attracted managers’ attention and have been researched in different perspectives and using different theories. In this study we grasp the wealth of extant research in the field of M&As. We conducted a bibliometric study of 635 articles on strategic management and international business research published in 34 highly ranked management journals between 1983 and 2012. We performed citation, co-citation and factor analyses to uncover the issues examined by scholars, the main theoretical approaches and themes researched. The results show a relative shift from economic and financial approaches to knowledge-based and organizational learning perspectives in recent years. There was also an evolution from assessing the performance of firms after an M&A to seeking an understanding of what may drive synergy creation after the integration process. Furthermore we observed an increasing interest in cross-border M&As. We discuss our findings, identifying gaps and suggesting paths for future research. 2015 artículo científico 2176-0756 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=331241515005 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3312 Revista Ibero Americana de Estratégia application/pdf Universidade Nove de Julho Revista Ibero Americana de Estratégia (Brasil) Num.2 Vol.14 |
