The Pre-Deal Phase of Mergers and Acquisitions: A Review and Research Agenda (2020, background): “…insights into the motives of acquirers, seller or target-side motives have rarely been studied outside of the divestiture literature (e.g., Brauer, 2006; Feldman, 2013) even though in many cases, M&A is initiated by the seller (e.g., Graebner & Eisenhardt, 2004; Zeng, Douglas, & Wu, 2013).”
Restructuring through spin‐off or sell‐off: transforming information asymmetries into financial gain (2008, background): “Studies have reported a positive stock market reaction to restructuring announcements by firms having high levels of diversification (Brauer, 2006; Bruner, 2004; Johnson, 1996).”

Critical success factors through the Mergers and Acquisitions process:revealing pre- and post- M&A connections for improved performance (2013, methodology): “…such as diversification (Hitt, Tihanyi, Miller, & Connelly, 2006), executive compensation (Devers, Cannella, Reilly, & Yoder, 2007), turnarounds and organizational change (Brauer, 2006), and human resource practices (Wright & Boswell, 2002), but only as a secondary facet of a larger subject.”
Mergers and Acquisitions: Overcoming Pitfalls, Building Synergy, and Creating Value (2009, background): “While important, there has been a dearth of research on divestitures of acquired businesses (Brauer, 2006).”
Divestiture and Firm Performance: A Meta-Analysis (2010, background): “Moving from a conception of divestitures as being mere “mirror image” of mergers and acquisitions, future divestiture research should also expand our knowledge base by showing the intervening processes and how they affect the relationship between divestiture and firm performance (Brauer, 2006).”
