Abstract

In this chapter, we focus on virtual teams and emotions during
postmerger and acquisition (M&A) integration. Our main research
question is “How to manage emotions and virtual teams following
cross-border M&A?”. We answer this question through the following
research subquestions: (1) What virtual interaction can be identified
post-M&A?; (2) What emotions arises from virtual communication; and
(3) What emotions and challenges do virtual teams encounter following
cross-border M&As? This research is based on a single case study.
The main findings imply that emotions, trust, and cultural differences
play an important role in virtual interaction following a cross-border
M&A.
