Svante Schriber

Chapter 27 in Elgar Encyclopedia of Mergers and Acquisitions, 2026, pp 74-75 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter discusses how competitors and stakeholders retaliate to acquisitions to disrupt their success, including pre-closing tactics like preemptive bids and post-closing actions such as poaching employees or launching competing products. Highlighting the dynamic nature of mergers and acquisitions, it underscores the need to anticipate and mitigate retaliation during planning and integration phases for better acquisition outcomes.
