Abstract Details

2020, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Business Administration.
My dissertation draws upon the novel-to-the-field rice theory to study how subnational cultural heterogeneity formulated in ancient agricultural society affects business decisions and firm performance in merge and acquisition activities. Through a series of three related papers, my dissertation contributes to the literature on experiential learning, post-acquisition integration and subnational cultural interactions. Each chapter addresses unique gaps in the extant literature and examines critical challenges to the research of the cultural impacts in the merge and acquisition.
