Target\u003cbr\u003ecompanies can expect to lose close to 40% of their top management\u003cbr\u003eteams within 2 years after an acquisition. Executives who stay often lose\u003cbr\u003estatus and autonomy and view their company’s acquisition as detrimental\u003cbr\u003eto themselves, both personally and professionally.\u003cbr\u003eIt is common for acquiring fi rms to replace target executives with\u003cbr\u003etheir own shortly after an acquisition. Existing research, however, suggests\u003cbr\u003ethat doing so leads to lower target company performance.
