Abstract. In the last five years the number of Merger and Acquisition attempts in the Insurance industry in Saudi Arabia has increased, yet no deal has been successfully completed. Why? This paper employs qualitative methods to illuminate the reasons and managerial behaviors that lead to the frequent failure of M&A’s in the field of insurance in Saudi Arabia. Our understanding of Saudi’s merger and acquisition (M&A) activity is limited, because most deals have been attempted under a cloak of confidentiality. To the best of our knowledge, there is no research examining the reasons for failure of attempts to merge, or to acquire other companies; nor what could be done to create a business atmosphere that would lead to success. As an initial step to fill the void in this area, this study is aimed at identifying the factors that that lead to unsuccessful attempts to either Merge or Acquire insurance businesses in Saudi Arabia. This paper examines the characteristics, and processes, used during M&A attempts in the insurance industry in Saudi Arabia. It attempts to expose the results to researchers, companies, authorities, and policy makers, to help better understand the situation. It includes astute observations and opinions from experts in the field of economy and M&A’s in KSA.
