Hybrid arrangements as strategic alliances: theoretical issues in organizational combinations

Article Abstract:

Hybrid organizational arrangements, in which two or more sovereign organizations combine to pursue common interests, raise significant questions for both scholars and managers. A review of previous research yields four key issues - breadth of purpose, boundary determination, value creation, and stability mechanisms - that form the core of a theory of hybrid arrangements. This theory is then used to generate researchable propositions that explore differences among types of hybrids and to offer insights for managers of hybrid organizations.

Acculturation in mergers and acquisitions

Article Abstract:

Amodel focusing on the process of adaptation and acculturation in mergers and acquisitions is presented. It is proposed that the degree of congruence between the acquirer and the acquired organizations' preferred modes of acculturation will affect the level of acculturative stress. The latter will in turn either facilitate or hinder the implementation of the merger. (Reprinted by permission of the publisher.)
