Abstract

The aim of this review study is to achieve a comprehensive and deep understanding of the research process and new issues in the systematic review of the merger process in government organizations as well as to identify the related research areas.As a descriptive-analytical research,this study uses the bibliometric methodology. The VOSviewer software is used for bibliometric analysis.
The findings indicate that during the period between2000 to2010, research conducted in this field has taken an upward trend, then followed by a downward trend. Then in2012, the volume of studies in this field increased significantly, and after that, a decreasing trend was observed again. Genealogy studies indicated that the authors of 81% of the studies have a doctorate degree and are university faculty members; 19% are graduate students , a high percentage that in itself can indicate the richness and quality of the research conducted in the field of merger on the one hand, and the importance of this issue in the world's scientific societies on the other hand. 17% of the studies considered in this review, are in the field of "merger", 37% "monopoly", and 46% "merger and acquisition"
The studies conducted in the field of “merger” in our country is almost mixed with the field of “acquisition and monopoly”.Many researchers have tried to study what is related to this field in order to evaluate its components and factors as well as the associated consequences.The present meta-analysis is an attempt to re-analyze a set of studies in the field of merge
