Value and its variety

Sally Riad

Chapter 164 in Elgar Encyclopedia of Mergers and Acquisitions, 2026, pp 440-442 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter examines value in M&A through the lens of axiology, discussing value dynamics and judgments across various forms: strategic, financial, linguistic, environmental, and emotional value. It highlights their interrelations and legitimacy, emphasizing their inclusion in the merger process. The chapter critiques the dominance of shareholder value, advocates for value pluralism, and calls for frameworks to integrate diverse value perspectives into the assessment of M&A success.
