Within this doctoral dissertation, I explore mergers & acquisitions (M&As) in the context of family firms. In particular, I investigate (1) the M&A performance of family firm acquirers compared to non-family firm acquirers, the strategic mechanisms that help explain the relationship between family firm acquirers and M&A performance and the influence of family board involvement on family firm acquirers’ pursuit of M&A strategies by drawing upon the socio-emotional wealth perspective, (2) the M&A motives and processes in acquiring family firms through the lens of the long-term orientation framework, and (3) the restructuring strategies, including divestments via M&As, employed by family firms to poorly performing portfolio firms by drawing upon the escalation of commitment literature coupled with the socio-emotional wealth perspective.
