DETERMINANTS OF ACQUISITION INTEGRATION LEVEL: A DECISION-MAKING PERSPECTIVE.
研究了56家收购企业的高管如何根据任务、文化和政治特征决定整合水平，发现任务因素最重要，但文化和政治因素也不可忽视，对理解收购整合决策有参考价值。
Executives of 56 acquiring organizations participated in policy-capturing research that examined how the task, cultural, and political characteristics of acquisitions influence decisions about levels of integration. Although task-related characteristics entered most heavily into managers' decision models, cultural and political factors were also important. These results suggest that an understanding of acquisition integration is best achieved by viewing integration design decisions through multiple theoretical lenses. Furthermore, although industry and acquisition experience explained some variation in integration decision policies, results suggest that other individual or organization-level factors are also at work.
