| description | This article investigates the motivations for a sample of Canadian and U.S. trucking company M&As through a review of press releases picked up by the wire services at the time of announcement, and through an in-depth examination of filings at the time of the M&As. The authors conclude that existing typologies, used to explain M&A activity in other sectors, cannot be usefully applied to the transport sector and so a new typology is proposed. Six case studies are presented to provide support for the proposed typology and, as a secondary issue, to explore the success/failure profile of M&As in the trucking industry. |
