Strategic business partner: Rhetoric or reality? The role of human resources in mergers and acquisitions The role of Human Resources in Merger and Acquisition transactions can have a critical impact on deal outcomes. However, although current rhetoric acknowledges the importance of Human Resources in M&A transactions, insuffi cient evidence exists to suggest that Human Resources directly infl uences business strategy or transaction performance outcomes. Factors such as Merger and Acquisition success and failure rates, merger motives and merger types and transaction climate provide signifi cant insight into the reasoning for the predominantly operational and executional role of HR in M&A deals.
