The motives and performance of cross-border acquirers from emerging economies: Comparison between Chinese and Indian firms (2013, background): “study (Slangen, 2006) shows that the abnormal return actually depends on the level of post-acquisition integration.”
Cultural distance, political risk, or governance quality? Towards a more accurate conceptualization and measurement of external uncertainty in foreign entry mode research (2009, unknown): “Like those of prior studies (Barkema et al., 1997; Barkema & Vermeulen, 1998; Drogendijk & Slangen, 2006; Kogut & Singh, 1988), our sample consists of investments by both manufacturing and service MNEs.”
Mergers and acquisitions process: the use of corporate culture analysis (2012, background): “negative and positive effects on M&A performance (Ahammad and Glaister, 2011a, b; Reus and Lamont, 2009; Sarala, 2010; Slangen, 2006; Vaara et al., 2011; Weber et al., 2011d).”
The Challenge of Integration: A Review of the M&A Integration Literature (2017, background): “The negative effects of cultural distance are particularly pronounced in cases of deep integration (Bauer et al. 2014; Jöns et al. 2007; Slangen 2006) and are contingent upon differences in the cultures of the involved organizations (Weber et al. 2009).”
The impact of cultural differences and acculturation factors on post-acquisition conflict ☆ (2010, result): “Quantitative studies have concentrated both on the impact of national cultural differences (Birkinshaw et al., 2000; Bresman et al., 1999; Brock, 2005; Calori, Lubatkin, & Very, 1994; Datta & Puia, 1995; Larsson & Finkelstein, 1999; Larsson & Risberg, 1998; Lubatkin, Calori, Very, & Veiga, 1998; Mor”
Critical success factors through the Mergers and Acquisitions process:revealing pre- and post- M&A connections for improved performance (2013, background): “…integration approaches, as well as their influence on the success of international acquisitions, are not clear and can even be contradictory (Calori, Lubatkin, & Very, 1994; Child, Faulkner, & Pitkethly, 2000; Lubatkin, Calori, Very, & Veiga, 1998; Slangen, 2006; Stahl, Mendenhall, & Weber, 2005).”
M&A and innovation: The role of integration and cultural differences—A central European targets perspective (2016, methodology): “Numerous researchers point to inconclusive and often contradictory results and call for further research (Schoenberg, 2000; Teerikangas & Very, 2006; Child, Faulkner, & Pitkethly, 2000; Slangen, 2006; Jemison & Sitkin, 1986).”
Cultural differences and capability transfer in cross-border acquisitions: the mediating roles of capability complementarity, absorptive capacity, and social integration (2007, background): “autonomy, and there is less extensive interaction among the members of the two firms, which reduces post-acquisition stress and the likelihood of culture-related problems (Slangen, 2006).”
Sociocultural Integration in Mergers and Acquisitions: Unresolved Paradoxes and Directions for Future Research (2013, background): “” These can be most often observed when the level of cultural distance is moderate so that there will be sufficient differences to create room for mutual learning and synergy realization, and that the differences are not so high so that cognitive and normative gaps between the merging organizations ”
Mars–Venus marriages: Culture and cross-border M&A (2009, background): “Despite the intuitive appeal of the conclusions, Slangen (2006) uses surveys of managers’ opinions to assess the success of an acquisition (as well as the level of integration) and may have considerable estimation problems associated with it.”
