Sammendrag
Using a sample of 26 Norwegian merger and acquisition (M&A) transactions, we

empirically investigate if serial acquirers perform better than first-time acquirers,

focusing on learning and post-merger integration (PMI) problems. We perform

factor analysis to develop five hypotheses regarding the firms’ strategic position,

operational integration, organizational culture, integration processes, and the

overall outcome. The results show that serial acquirers (experienced) generally

perceive their performance as more successful than first-time acquirers

(inexperienced) on the topics and issues researched. We argue that learning and

experience from previous M&A deals increase the success rate of integration

outcome compared to first-time acquirers. Lastly, we discuss our findings,

limitations, and suggest paths for future research.
