Mergers and acquisitions (M&As) can be tumultuous for executives. Target companies can expect to lose close to 40% of their top management teams within 2 years after an acquisition. Executives who stay often lose status and autonomy and view their company's acquisition as detrimental to themselves, both personally and professionally. It is common for acquiring firms to replace target executives with their own shortly after an acquisition. Existing research, however, suggests that doing so leads to lower target company performance. Why, then, are acquiring firms so quick to replace target company executives after an acquisition?
