Abstract

Abstract Although the business strategies of mergers and acquisitions (M&As) are investigated theoretically and practically, their diffusion and features in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region are not clearly described in the literature. This is in particular due to the recent transformation that member countries have been going through since the financial crisis of 2008 and the Arab Spring. Through shareholder maximization theory, agency theory, and the resource-based view we identified the reasons and characteristics of M&As in the Middle East and North Africa regions. Following a systematic literature review methodology, we identified 37 articles related to M&A in MENA countries published in peer-reviewed journals and reported in CABS ranking (Chartered Association of Business Schools). Based on this analysis, we map the extant literature on the topic and present an integrative framework of these features for future researchers to further explore and expand the boundaries of the domain.

中东和北非地区兼并和收购的过去、现在和未来:系统审查和综合框架

虽然对企业并购战略进行了理论和实践研究，但文献对其在中东和北非地区的扩散和特征并没有清晰的描述。特别是，自2008年金融危机和阿拉伯之春以来，成员国最近一直在经历转型。通过股东最大化理论、代理理论和资源基础理论，分析了中东北非地区企业并购的原因和特征。根据系统的文献回顾方法，我们确定了37篇与中东和北非国家并购相关的文章，这些文章发表在同行评议期刊上，并在特许商学院协会(CABS)排名中报告。在此基础上，我们对该主题的现有文献进行了映射，并提出了这些特征的综合框架，以便未来的研究人员进一步探索和扩展该领域的边界。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
