dc.description.abstractThis study delves into the key role of human resource management (HRM) during the pre-merger phase of mergers and acquisitions (M&As) within the European tech sector. Historically, HRM’s involvement was concentrated post-merger, but emerging academic discourse suggests its broader, encompassing role throughout M&As. Through an exploratory research design involving eight cases, the research underscores the significance of early HRM practices for successful synergy realization. Key findings highlight the importance of cultural due diligence, talent management, transparent communication, and the development of an evolving integration playbook. Challenges include aligning compensation, benefits, and other pivotal HRM practices to minimize post-merger disruptions. Neglecting these practices, can lead to unpreparedness for integration and significant risks. These insights not only bridge a gap in the literature, but also offer practical implications for firms navigating the complexities of M&As. The study’s findings contribute to reshaping the academic understanding of HRM’s role in M&As, emphasizing its proactive approach for successful integrations.
