Como o desenvolvimento sustentável é abordado em processos de fusão e aquisição: uma revisão integrativa

Abstract

There is a trend towards recognition of the need to adapt Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) to the pressures and demands of the globalized world, highlighting a greater concern with issues of sustainability and organizational responsibility. However, the understanding of these issues is still incipient, requiring better understanding. Therefore, this study aims to review and synthesize the literature that relates sustainable development to Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) processes. The results indicate a greater focus on the economic and environmental dimensions, with the social dimension and a joint approach of the dimensions still little addressed in the studies. In this sense, the intersection between sustainable development and Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) needs to move forward, both in quantitative terms and in terms of approaching it from different perspectives. A research agenda is presented at the end of the paper
