This paper aims to confirm pitfalls relevant in the integration stage of startup acquisitions mentioned in the literature and to identify new ones. To accomplish this, we conducted a literature review and a multiple case study with semi-structured, qualitative expert interviews. The results indicate the integration of an acquired startup may be challenged by potential pitfalls relating to acquirers or startups or a lack of their concordance. Unfavorable integration process attributes can also harm the integration success. We identified a lack of national-cultural fit and low performance of the integration team as additional potential pitfalls.

启动集成的潜在陷阱：一项探索性研究

本文旨在确定与文献中提到的初创企业收购整合阶段相关的陷阱，并找出新的陷阱。为此，我们进行了文献回顾和多案例研究，并进行了半结构化，定性的专家访谈。结果表明，与收购方或初创公司有关的潜在陷阱或缺乏一致性，可能会挑战被收购初创公司的整合。不利的集成过程属性也会损害集成成功。我们发现缺乏民族文化契合度和整合团队绩效低下是其他潜在的陷阱。
