Summary/Abstract: The employees’ interests should be – among the interests of all the other stakeholders – a subject-matter of reflection for managers who’s role is to harmonize these various interests for the good of the company. Each significant change in the organization creates a risk of disruption of the interests’ balance. A merger or an acquisition epitomizes such a change. The aim of this paper is to propose a view at employees’ interests in M&As from the perspective of the stakeholder concept. The importance of an exploration and diagnosis of various interests of different employees’ groups in the pre-transaction phase is emphasized.
