“…These studies can be criticized since nowadays we live in the information age. We can find a lot of information about any company all over the world and there are more incentive and attractive areas than other large cities (Poirot and Gérardin, 2010), particularly in Morocco (Elhasbi et al , 2017).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this article is to address certain gaps and contribute to enriching the literature on mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in Africa; describe the phenomenon taking into account the particularity of the country; address recommendations to public policies and investors and make this article a ground-breaking article on research into the phenomenon of the M&A market in North Africa.Design/methodology/approachWith description and an exploratory intention, the authors develop phenomenon driven research. As appropriate phenomenon driven research, the authors focus on characteristics of Moroccan M&A market. The authors use scientific investigation to provide descriptions and explanations of the phenomena in order to add a new perspective to the M&A literature in North African region. The authors work on the particularity of companies in Morocco, typology of M&A, geographic areas, socio-economic indicators, trade agreements, politics and culture.FindingsUnderstand that the phenomenon of domestic M&A is a phenomenon of big cities and knows the participation of small and medium enterprises. The political variable, the trade agreements and the socio-economic weight of the countries influence the cross-border M&A in to out. Sharing a border and common culture has no impact on cross-border M&A but the history of colonization has an impact.Research limitations/implicationsThe scientific contribution is first an extension of the neoclassical theory on the initiation of M&A operations. Throughout these 29 years of history, the existence of external shocks such as regulations has influenced the activity of M&A operations. Privatization, partial opening of sectors to foreign investment tax incentives have contributed to the realization of M&A operations.Practical implicationsThis paper also has an economic and practical contribution, as it informs about the absence of M&A operation in the agriculture and agri-food sector in Sub-Saharan Africa. This region recognizes a food shortage that will increase by 70–100% between 2010 and 2050 with a strong population growth. The authors also note that regulations, royal directives, influence the activity and geographic choices of M&A. The political variable remains decisive for the cross-border M&A activity between Morocco and Algeria, but encourages acquisitions in countries in West and Central Africa.Originality/valueM&A research in Africa is poor and suffers from several shortcomings; these barriers push researchers to produce fewer papers on this phenomenon. Through data collection, description and explanation, the authors tried to produce a paper focusing on the M&A phenomenon in a country in North Africa. To the authors’ knowledge, no article has dealt with this phenomenon in this country which is known for its strong M&A activity.

“…Organizational behavior theories accounted for 15% of the theories used in the selected articles (Nejjar, 2017, Belhsen, 2016Ouabouch and Akrich, 2016;Ouazzani Chahdi, 2013, Moutimihi &Achoui, 2016). 5% of the selected articles used more strategic management theories (Elhasbi et al 2017;Ameziane & El Andaloussi, 2016) and theories of political science (Belhsen, 2016;Benbba & Ameziane, 2010). Finally, only 3% of the articles relied on the theories of Marketing (Aboudrar et al 2014), decision sciences (Benrrezzouk, 2014) and mathematical models (Hajibi, 2011).…”

“…In a case study, Abakouy and Housni (2016) used agency theory and transaction cost theory to describe and explain the logistical behavior of agribusiness SMEs in an international context. Elhasbi et al (2017) in an effort to enhance the attractiveness of foreign investors in the manufacturing and logistics sectors in the city of Tangier implemented the strategic analysis PESTEL and the electrical theory developed by Dunning. Abbad et al (2012) in an attempt to explain the nature of the barriers to ICT implementation in the food retail industry, have proposed theories such as transaction cost theory and the "innovation resistance" model.…”

This article has two objectives, the first is to present an analysis of the results of a systematic review of literature on logistics and supply chain management (SCM) in Morocco from 2010 to 2018, and second, to present a diagnosis of this research in order to propose a line of research which is little or not explored yet in the Moroccan context. To reach these objectives, we rely on the systematic review approach of literature and 51 articles were selected for final analysis. The results show that some laboratories are more active in logistics and SCM in the Moroccan context than others. Also, most of the articles included present a theoretical background that is not totally explored. Furthermore, our results reveal a dominance of articles highlighting logistics performance. This study presents a number of research tracks which take into consideration the recent evolutions in the logistics sector in Morocco.
