摘要：

The CEO is the chief decision-maker with regard to corporate strategy, and extant literature highlights how CEOs' psychological characteristics inform firms' risky strategic choices. In this article, we focus instead on how CEOs' psychological characteristics might lead to risk-mitigation actions. Building on the regulatory focus theory, we investigate the impact of CEO's prevention focus on the due diligence process in merger and acquisition (M&A) deals. Using a sample of 339 majority-stake completed M&A deals by public firms from the United Kingdom, we find that CEOs having a stronger prevention focus increases the time these firms take to complete their M&A deals. We also find that this effect is mitigated when firms acquire target firms in related industries.
