Mergers and Acquisitions Represent Paradoxes in the Sense That

Mergers and acquisitions represent paradoxes in the sense that:

A) The stock market remains suspicious of them,despite widespread evidence of their effectives as tools of corporate strategy
B) Companies continue to be enthusiastic in initiating acquisitions despite empirical evidence that,on average,acquisitions destroy shareholder value for acquirers
C) The CEOs who initiate them are lauded by the business media,despite the suspicious that they are vehicles for CEO testosterone-fueled hubris
D) They are often initiated by companies that profess a stakeholder orientation despite the fact that it is investment bankers who are the main beneficiaries,while consumers and employees are the main losers
