Abstract

This study examines the impact of board turnover and diversity on post-acquisition performance in European listed companies, utilizing resource dependency theory. Despite hypotheses suggesting positive effects, the empirical results indicate no significant relationship between board turnover, board diversity (age-, gender, and nationality diversity) and post- acquisition performance. These findings challenge existing assumptions within resource dependency theory and highlight the complexity of board dynamics in acquisition contexts. Further research is needed to explore other factors influencing post-acquisition success
