Abstract

Megamergers often do not benefit shareholders, managers, or the public. One does not need to have acquisitions followed by divestiture or dismemberment, followed by more acquisitions. Unless corporate managers learn from a decade of experience, one can expect a continuing parade of profitless megamergers.
