Relatedness performance

Joseph A. Clougherty

Chapter 131 in Elgar Encyclopedia of Mergers and Acquisitions, 2026, pp 357-358 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter explores the concept of relatedness in M&A performance, examining its potential benefits and associated costs. While related M&As offer synergy opportunities, they present integration challenges that can erode their advantages. The chapter critiques traditional metrics and advocates evaluating the broader impact of relatedness, including effects on non-merging competitors, to better understand how relatedness influences acquisition success.
