Executive duties in the process of combining

Abstract

Looks at how senior management teams and CEOs fall into the trap of thinking that their work is complete, following negotiated deals. Divides M&A into three phases — pre‐combination, combination and post‐combination and distinguishes between typical and successful combinations in terms of those phases (uses a table for highlighting this). Pinpoints, in a panel, Boeing's acquisitions of North American Rockwell — using transition teams, communication and guidelines, as explanatory reasons for this takeover.
