Risk assessment and post-merger integration : issues and research agenda ; Perceptions and attitudes towards risks arising from post-merger integration ; Literature survey of risk management of post-merger transition projects

Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) for business can be regarded as a risk-taking activity for a growth company. So, this study adopts a behaviour-oriented risk management approach to examine failure risks arising from the M&A in the Taiwan context. Risk communication strategy is a major tool of that approach. In order to communicate risks arising from M&A to employees, furthermore, to achieve a successful post-merger integration, this study identifies a variety of risks from the post-merger integration, examines the differences between risk estimation and risk evaluation, and investigates a number of risk communication strategies for the target case by use of a questionnaire survey. Meanwhile, this thesis also investigates risk management on the post-merger transition structure. / Thesis (DBA(DoctorateofBusinessAdministration))--University of South Australia, 2007
