Alexandra Reed Lajoux is chief knowledge officer of the National Association of Corporate Directors. She was the editor of Director's Monthly, Mergers & Acquisitions magazine, Export Today, and Export Monthly, and she coauthored (with Stanley Foster Reed) the seminal book, The Art of M&A.
When companies merge it is usually with the expectation that, in the end, the whole will be greater than the sum of its parts. Unfortunately as evidenced by the AOL Time Warner merger, one plus one all too often moves shareholder returns to the wrong size of zero. The reason for failed M&As most commonly cited by the experts? Poor post-merger integration.
Since 1997, the number-one resource for professionals in search of practical solutions to the thousand-and-one integration issues that can make or break a merger has been The Art of M&A Integration.
How can we avoid losing key employees? Which financial statements may be consolidated following a merger or acquisition? How can we preserve brand identity during the integration process? What's the best way to merge management structures? What are the biggest challenges to IT integration? How can we retain loyal customers following a merger?
Like its acclaimed predecessor, this second edition of Alexandra Reed Lajoux's classic guide provides complete, straightforward answers to these and every other common post-merger integration question. Based on extensive interviews with fifty of today's top experts, it advises you on how, and just as importantly, when to manage every contingency. It shows you how to develop a detailed post-merger integration plan, and arms you with checklists, calendars, flow charts, and other valuable tools to help smooth the transition. It also supplies you with an array of sample documents, including accounting forms, contracts, financial statements, legal agreements, and more. And, with the help of fascinating case studies of recent M&As--including Cingular-AT&T, Oracle-PeopleSoft, Nextel-Sprint, and Gillette-Procter & Gamble, to name just a few--it provides an unparalleled look inside some of the most notable successes and failures across industry sectors.
