Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The classic finance topic, mergers and acquisitions (M&As), has been widely studied over the past few decades. Along with the availability of new data and research techniques in recent years, it is an opportunity for academics to leverage the update resource and rejuvenate the M&A research.
We invite you to submit an original manuscript to the Special Issue on mergers and acquisitions (M&As). This Special Issue will accept papers on all topics related to M&As, including, but not limited to, studies that (1) bring new insight into the M&A strategy, process, and outcome; (2) investigate how M&A participants interact with each other; (3) identify regulatory issues; (4) learn cross-border M&As in a multi-country setting; (5) explore FinTech-related M&As issues; and (6) explore the impact of COVID-19, and other related issues. Innovative research topics are highly encouraged.
