“…Among the Spanish entrepreneurs, facilitating conditions; effort and performance expectancy; hedonic motivation; social influence; and behavioral intentions positively and significantly affect the sustainable business model innovation [20]. Sarabia et al [21] propose that entrepreneurship's conflict constructs are not successful initiatives to attain a sustainable merger practice over time. In the perception of Uhlaner, Brent, and Jeurisse [22], firms with a more pioneering orientation have more preference towards establishing sustainable entrepreneurship behaviors.…”

“…From an acquirer's point of view, the target company can present firm-specific factors which include, among others, the financial constraints [31], the technological and market relatedness between the involved companies [32,33], financial information [34], or the sustainable approach [7,35]. From the acquirer's point of view, the main reasons for closing a M&A are: synergy [18,34], agency [36,37] and hubris [11,38] when purchasing a controlling interest, or financing, contracting or governance motives, in the case of purchasing less than 50% of target company's shares [39].…”

“…In terms of the sustainable approach and how it is shared between the two parties, scientific literature is mainly focused on acquisitions of a controlling interest [7,18]. Additionally, in the present day, we often meet the term green M&A, referring to transactions with the aim of acquiring energy saving and emission-reducing technologies or transforming to other low pollution and low energy industries by heavily polluting enterprises [5,19].…”

Rethinking the Role of M&As in Promoting Sustainable Development: Empirical Evidence Regarding the Relation Between the Audit Opinion and the Sustainable Performance of the Romanian Target Companies

et al. 2020

External growth strategies face crucial barriers when taken into consideration for investing if the involved companies are not audited. The integrity of a company’s financial information, its control systems, and its sustainable behavior represent cornerstones when participating in mergers and acquisitions (henceforth M&As). Thus, the audit function became a must and its role increased over the years, becoming an intrinsic part of faithfully disclosing financial and nonfinancial information (sustainable reporting included). M&As are ideal when the need for rapid innovation is required, in order to maintain or develop a sustainability policy. Given the environmental issues, we analyzed a sample of 1491 target companies listed on Bucharest Stock Exchange, clustered into three categories: polluters, medium polluters, and low polluters. The study reveals that the investors’ decision to purchase a certain amount of stake in target companies is influenced by the audit opinion and the sector in which they operate, depending on their pollution status.

Aim of the study is to apply ISM on disordered chaotic hierarchy of employees’ emotional behaviors that result in failed mergers. It is an exploratory research that uses in depth literature review for identification of behaviors, ISM for exploring causal relations, analyzing interactions & prioritizing them and MICMAC analysis for classifying them on the basis of their driving-dependence power. Findings revealed that: there are total eighteen employees’ emotional behaviors, having four levels hierarchy where job insecurity, feeling of degradation and jealousy occupy bottom of ISM model, hence, are most critical whereas, shame and compassion occupy top i.e. relatively less critical. MICMAC revealed that two behaviors are dependent, two are independent, fourteen are autonomous and no ambivalent. This study is useful for organizations which are in process of mergers or acquisitions. This study is unique as it takes the matter holistically and develops pertinence wise hierarchicalization of behaviors. The paper offers three main contributions: i) it provides comprehensive conceptual understanding of constructs of the phenomenon and underpins complex relationships among behaviors, ii) developed a model of hierarchicalization of emotional behaviors and iii) developed driving-dependence diagram on the continuum of weak-strong.
