Abstract: Mergers and Acquisitions (M%As) continue to be a dominant business strategy for organisations. Despite evidence of greater number of failures than successes, organisations still view M%A as a beneficial strategic activity. This paper looks at the different factors that impact the success or failure of a merger at each stage of the process and brings out the factors that managers need to keep in mind to ensure a successful merger.

Keywords: mergers; acquisitions; pre-merger factors; post-merger factors; strategic fit; relatedness; due diligence; integration; influencing factors; business strategies; failure; success; beneficial activities; strategic activity; managers; management practice.
