Abstract This paper focuses on theorizing in the study of mergers and acquisitions (M&As), a globally significant inter-organizational phenomenon. We analyze 76 qualitative papers on M&As published in leading management journals between 1966–2016. We identify five modes of theorizing in the study of M&As. We find that M&A scholars make theoretical contributions using different theoretical positioning and research design strategies. The majority of the papers offer a contribution to middle-range theorizing (i.e., the literature on M&As), while a third of the papers also contribute to higher-order, or grand theories in management. In closing, this leads us to call for a rejuvenation of middle-range theorizing in management research.

并购定性研究中的理论化

摘要 本文重点研究并购(M&A)研究中的理论化,并购是一种全球性的重要组织间现象。我们分析了 1966 年至 2016 年间发表在领先管理期刊上的 76 篇关于并购的定性论文。我们确定了并购研究中的五种理论模式。我们发现并购学者使用不同的理论定位和研究设计策略做出理论贡献。大多数论文对中层理论(即并购文献)做出了贡献,而三分之一的论文也对管理中的高阶理论或宏大理论做出了贡献。最后,这促使我们呼吁复兴管理研究中的中层理论。
