Company cultures in M&A (mergers and acquisitions)

Abstract

Outlines two basics of successful mergers and acquisitions: agree on who has to change; and ensure suitable cultures. Examines organizational culture in combining organizations, beginning before significant changes were introduced. Employs three figures to aid in explanation of the arguments. Sums up that when little integration is required, cultural compatibility is of less importance.
