Over the past decades, the total value of executive compensation packages has been rising dramatically, contributing to a wider pay gap between the chief executive officer and the average worker. In the midst of the financial turmoil that brought about a massive wave of corporate failures, the lavish executive compensation package has come under an intense spotlight. Public pressure has mounted to revise the levels and the structure of executive pay in a way that will tie more closely the executive wealth to that of shareholders. Merger and acquisition (M&A) activities represent an opportune setting for gauging whether shareholder value creation or managerial opportunism guides executive compensation. M&As constitute major examples of high-profile events prompted by managers who typically conceive them as a means for achieving higher levels of pay, even though they are frequently associated with disappointing returns to acquiring shareholders. Mergers and Acquisitions and Executive Compensation reviews the existing empirical evidence and provides an integrative framework for the growing body of literature that is situated at the intersection of two highly debated topics: M&A activities and executive compensation. The proposed framework structures the literature along two dimensions, such as M&A phases and firm’s role in a M&A deal, allowing readers to identify three main streams of research and five different conceptualizations of causal relationships between M&A transactions and executive compensation. The book makes a comprehensive review of empirical studies conducted to date, aiming to shed more light on the current and emerging knowledge in this field of investigation, discuss the inconsistencies encountered within each stream of research, and suggest promising directions for further exploration. This book will appeal to researchers and students alike in the fields of organizational behavior and governance as well as accounting and accountability.

Several studies in the finance literature (and other fields) focus on how compensation contracts of CEOs shape incentives and affect risk-taking behaviour. We examine how CEOs with varying risk appetites approach merger and acquisition (M&A) deals differently due to incentives driven by their compensation structure. Relying on VEGA, the sensitivity of executive's portfolio to a one percent change in volatility of stock returns, we document that acquirers and targets behave differently vis-à-vis their compensation. We show that a longer time to completion is related to the target VEGA (and not bidder VEGA). We also find that a more risk-taking CEO (as encouraged by VEGA) selling his firm would delay completing a deal by a significant three weeks. We conjecture that target CEOs choose to delay deal completion to look for better bids that tally their need to change their portfolio of company holdings. Next, we link executive compensation, mergers and acquisitions, and environmental, social and governance in one framework that produces new insights into how CEO's incentives yield sub-optimal investment decisions. Our sample consists of 1,280 mergers (M&A) from the period of 1993-2018 and uses the CEO's wealth sensitivity to stock price volatility (VEGA) as a proxy for risk-taking behaviour. We establish that there is a shift in the relation between CSR rating and cumulative abnormal announcement returns of M&As deals. After 2008, the market for corporate control no longer rewards more commitment to CSR activities. We examine the performance of our sample of mergers in comparison with that of a matched sample of non-bidding firms vis-à-vis their environmental, social and governance (ESG) profiles over the long term. Our results indicate that more CSR commitment does not translate into better long-term returns for shareholders and stakeholders if the firms participate in M&As. Moreover, we investigate how the bidder and target CSR ratings, as well as management risk-taking incentives (proxied by VEGA), affect deals total synergy estimated around the announcement day. Our results show that firms with lower CSR ratings yield more synergy gains, which are not related to both bidder and target risk-taking incentives. Finally, we provide new evidence related to the debate whether corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategies intrinsically benefit organizations and contribute to wealth creation after controlling for CEO compensation. We utilize a sample of M&A deals spanning the period 1993 to 2018 of target firms with different CSR ratings and investigate the effect of CEOs' executive compensation driven incentives. Our main finding is that Low CSR firms becoming targets of M&A contests in the subperiod post-2008 record the highest cumulative average abnormal returns (compared to High CSR over the same period and other subsamples). We report that Low CSR firms with High VEGA target CEOs specifically perform better in corporate control contests in later years. We justify this as Low CSR firms are characterized by lower governance and more agency costs where management seeks benefit its own interests instead of being considerate for the stakeholders at large.

Lukas Hengartner shows that both firm complexity and managerial power are associated with higher pay levels. This suggests that top managers are paid for the complexity of their job and that more powerful top managers receive pay in excess of the level that would be optimal for shareholders.

It is now a well-know fact that mergers and acquisitions activity comes in waves. The most recent wave, the 5th takeover wave of the 1990s, was characterized by an unprecedented number of corporate restructurings in terms of mergers and acquisitions (M&As), public-to-private transactions, spin-offs and divestitures, and leveraged recapitalizations. Following the collapse of the stock market in March 2000, M&A activity slumped dramatically, but this pause ended in the second half of 2004 when takeover deals occurred again quite frequently. Indeed, some observers wonder whether the 6th takeover wave has started. The takeover wave in the 1990s was particularly remarkable in terms of size and geographical dispersion. For the first time, Continental European firms were as eager to participate as their US and UK counterparts, and M&A activity in Europe hit levels similar to those experienced in the US. Due to its financial impact and the unprecedented activity in Continental Europe, the 5th takeover wave of the 1990s and recent takeover activity (in biotech, utilities, pharmaceuticals) have triggered a great deal of interesting academic research. This volume brings together a selection of insightful papers. An impressive group of international authors address the following themes: takeover regulation; the cyclical pattern of the M&A markets and probable causes and effects; methods to determine the performance of success of M&A actions; cross border deals; means of payment and its effects; studies of hostile bids; high leverage takeovers and delistings. *A selection of the best and latest quantitative research on M&A activity worldwide *Impressive collection of international authors *Provides important insights and implications for practitioners

With its inception at the end of the nineteenth century as a means of consolidation and reorganization, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) have since become quasi-institutionalized as one of the primary strategic options for organizations, as they seek to secure their position in an ever more competitive and globalizing market place. Despite the optimism surrounding M&A as strategic moves, research on post-merger company performance suggests that most firms engaging in M&A activity do not achieve the sought-after performance targets, either immediately or in the years following the deal. What is it that drives M&A activity when research results do not support the performance expectations of these undertakings? Alternatively, have M&A scholars got it all wrong in the way that M&A performance is measured? Is the topic too complex, enduring, and multifaceted to study? The Handbook argues that the field of M&A is in need of a re-rooting: past research needs to be critically reviewed, and fundamental assumptions revisited. A key issue preventing efforts in the practice and study of M&A from achieving dynamic syntheses has been the disciplinary gulf separating strategy, finance, and human relations schools. The Handbook aims to bridge the hitherto separate disciplines engaged in the study and practice of M&A to provide more meaningful results. Toward this end, the Handbook brings together a set of prominent and emerging scholars and practitioners engaged in the study of M&A to provide thought-provoking, state of the art overviews of M&A through four specific 'lenses' - strategic, financial, socio-cultural, and sectorial approaches. By summarizing key findings in current research and exploring ways in which the differing approaches could and should be 'synthesized', it aims to highlight the key issues facing M&A practitioners and academics at the dawn of the third millennium.
