Strategy as practice perspective on M&A

Duncan N. Angwin

Chapter 146 in Elgar Encyclopedia of Mergers and Acquisitions, 2026, pp 394-397 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter explores M&A through a strategy as practice lens, emphasising practitioners, practices and praxis in post-acquisition integration. It examines the interactions between actors, tools and day-to-day activities, revealing the micro-level dynamics influencing outcomes. The chapter highlights the alignment of strategic intent with execution and calls for deeper investigations into contextual factors, linking localised integration actions with broader organisational and societal impacts.
