Business, management, and economics scholars from Europe, the US, and Israel provide six essays on factors involved in the success and failure of mergers and acquisitions in entrepreneurial firms, such as post-acquisition integration; open innovation; managerial retention; corporate venture capital units in media firms; entrepreneurial effectuation, domain-specific expertise, and perceived ambiguity in decision making; and factors that may lead to value leakage or destruction for acquirers of knowledge-intensive firms.
