Chapter 30 in From Stress to Wellbeing Volume 2, 2013, pp 131-149 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Mergers and acquisitions are a high risk form of business activity involving the collective annual investment of billions of pounds and affecting the working lives of millions of employees. It has been suggested that in the long term between 50–80 per cent of all mergers are considered to be financially unsuccessful (Marks, 1988b), and in terms of financial return, represent ‘at best an each way bet’ (Lorenz, 1986).
