International Journal of Business Process Integration and Management (IJBPIM), Vol. 9, No. 1, 2018

Abstract: Mergers and acquisitions (M&As) become popular over decades. A number of researches reveal that M&As are favourable to adjust them to compete in a more competitive way. However, merger motivations are still varied from different points of views. In this study, we provide some literature studies and conduct in-depth interviews with senior executives who have been involved in merger activities. The information is reliable since they have a great deal of direct experience with M&As from various backgrounds and experiences. At the end of this research, the clearer illustration on M&A occurrence is shown on the 'Donut forcing model', which aims to describe why mergers occur, what processes are involved, what forces drive and obstruct M&A, and why some mergers succeed and some fail within a single model.
