Managerial hubris

Managerial hubris is the unrealistic belief held by managers in bidding firms that they can manage the assets of a target firm more efficiently than the target firm's current management.

Managerial hubris is one reason a manager may choose to invest in a merger that on average generates no profits.[1]
