| Abstract: | This article examines the comparability of the three most used measures of acquisition performance: accounting-based measures, cumulative abnormal returns and managers' subjective assessments in a non-Anglo Saxon setting. Empirical testing is based on a sample of 50 domestic acquisitions executed by Greek companies. Findings from the three measures show failure rates from 50% to 60%. Accounting-based measures correlate positively to managers' subjective evaluations. Opposite, cumulative abnormal returns aren't correlated to either accounting-based measures or managers' subjective evaluations. |
