Is Mergers and Acquisitions to broad for a research paper? If not can you help me a topic dealing with it?

Question

This is for a Hospitality Tourism class... I like the sound of "How companies keep their good employees during the merger and acquisition process." How can I make it more of a hospitality tourism topic?

Answer 1

It depends on what class this is for, and how detailed you want to get on the subject.   If this is for a business class, then it's too broad - you will want to narrow it down to one aspect of M&A - such as how are companies valued, what is the history of M&A deals, a discussion of one particularly significant deal (e.g., Time Warner-AOL merger), effects of consolidation on particularly industries or society as a whole (e.g, anti-trust concerns).   For a non-business class, a general overview of the process of acquiring a company (touching briefly on each of the foregoing aspects) might be OK

Answer 2

Yes, it is too broad.

How about, "How companies keep their best employees during the merger and acquisition process".
