%0 Journal Article %A Sarabia Alegría, María %A Crecente Romero, Fernando Javier %A Castaño Sánchez, Rafael %T Why do sustainable mergers fail to manage entrepreneurship? %D 2019 %U http://hdl.handle.net/10017/55697 %X This paper proposes a conceptual model using four failed mergers (Federated -Fingerhut, KCPL and Western Resources, Daimler–Chrysler and Alcatel–Lucent) and distinguishes two types of dimensions: type of failure (tangible and intangible) and degree of failure (fixable and unfixable). Using case studies as a research strategy and focusing on the Alcatel–Lucent merger, as an example of an idiosyncratic type of “merger of equals”, the model identifies the entrepreneurial conflict variable as a missed step for obtaining a sustainable merger process over time. %K Sustainable merger %K Failure %K Entrepreneur %K Intangible values %K Economía %K Economics %K Sociología %K Sociology %~ Biblioteca Universidad de Alcala
