Abstract: An extensive body of literature has suggested that the influence of culture on the postmerger integration process and mergers and acquisitions (M&A) performance is critical. However, the results of empirical studies are contradictory and confusing. In fact, the combined effects of corporate culture, national culture, and synergy potential on various integration approaches, as well as their influence on M&A performance, have never been simultaneously investigated. This study aims to fill this gap and to develop a theoretical model using a multidisciplinary approach that draws upon the literature from strategic management, international management, and anthropology. Furthermore, unlike most studies that focus on a single stage of M&A, this study combines variables of pre- and postmerger stages.
