The aim of this track is to provide a forum and platform for interdisciplinary discussion and
engagement to further an enhanced analysis and appreciation of the underlying dynamics
shaping and driving M&A, alliance and divestiture activity and performance. It includes
papers analysing the scope, dynamics and execution of these inter-firm encounters or
‘hybrids’ (Borys & Jemison, 1989), as well as the similarities and differences across the
three types of corporate actions, be it from different theoretical as well as methodological
approaches. Strategic, financial, organizational, cultural, managerial or human relations
perspectives will be welcome, particularly when combined.
