Resistance

Thi Nguyen and Audrey Rouzies

Chapter 135 in Elgar Encyclopedia of Mergers and Acquisitions, 2026, pp 367-368 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The chapter delves into the dynamics of resistance during M&A integrations, exploring both its negative and positive impacts. While resistance may hinder integration and cause conflict, it can also reflect engagement, uncover gaps in change processes and highlight areas needing improvement. The chapter broadens the perspective by considering resistance from multiple actors, such as employees, managers and external stakeholders, offering nuanced insights into its origins and influence.
