| Tiivistelmä: | Previous research has recognized the importance of cultural factors as antecedents of post-acquisition conflict, but this recognition has translated itself into relatively little wide-scale empirical research. Thus, this article empirically studies the impact of cultural differences and acculturation factors on post-acquisition conflict. The proposition is that post-acquisition conflict can be explained by cultural differences and acculturation factors. The data is from a sample based on domestic and international acquisitions carried out by Finnish corporations during 2001-2004. The results reveal that organizational cultural differences and organizational cultural preservation increase conflict, partner attractiveness decreases conflict, as national cultural differences do not have an effect on the level of conflict. The findings thus confirm that both organizational cultural differences and acculturation factors are needed to explain the essential dynamics of post-acquisition integration. |
