M&A Culture Integration

In fact, failure to successfully integrate the cultures of two joined organizations or units is the reason often given as the cause of the high rate of failure of mergers to yield the expected performance outcomes that prompted the merger in the first place.It is challenging to bring people together from two or more cultures in a way that minimizes people’s sense of loss with regard to their original culture and focuses them on shaping and actively engaging the new culture.
