(2014) BUSN89 20141Department of Business Administration
- Abstract
- The purpose of this research study is to identify and analyse how different CEO characteristics can influence short-term M&A performance. In particular, personal aspects in regards to M&A decisions are examined within a European setting, covering the time period from 2004 until 2013. The defined hypotheses, based on previous empirical research studies, are tested by conducting multivariate regression analyses. As a result, it can be concluded which CEO characteristics have a crucial influence on short-term M&A performance and what kind of implications can be drawn for corporate governance.
