Abstract
This study preliminarily investigates how merger and acquisition (M&A) activities affect employees as stakeholders of the company system - specifically in the areas of leadership, communication, company direction, project autonomy, and path for career growth.
Interviews of 14 employees supporting the oil and gas industry were conducted to determine the effect (if any) that M&A activities had on their careers and any similarities in their experiences. This data was evaluated against research completed by Steigenberger & Mirc and Schweizer & Patzelt.
While the hypotheses presented cannot be proven, recommendations for future research are provided to gain and evaluate additional information.
