Abstract
AbstractIdentifying the surviving firms following mergers and acquisitions (M&A) presents challenges in organizational research. The paper offers a solution to this issue by examining prior research on M&A and firm survival to identify three empirically‐relevant criteria—strategic intent, corporate name retention, and top management team composition—and integrate them into a process‐driven typology of firm survival following M&A. To demonstrate the utility of this method, we apply this typology to an industry rich with M&A activity: the United States telecommunications industry.
