Mergers and acquisitions and managerial commitment to innovation in m-form firms
Article Abstract:
The expansion of corporations through mergers and acquisitions significantly affects the commitment of management to innovation. Management commitment to innovation is significantly affected by the degree to which the corporate management has implemented a merger or acquisition as a substitute for innovation, energy, and attention within the company itself. In addition, management commitment to innovation is affected by the consolidation negotiations, the use of leverage, and the increased size and diversification of the consolidated entity, all of which influence managers' time and risk orientations.
