About this title

Synopsis

Describes three actual mergers, offers advice on smoothing organizational changes, and discusses the hidden costs of merger

From the Publisher

This eye-opening study, based on the authors' direct and personal observation of a bank merger, has three basic analytical focuses: the human issues presented by mergers at both an individual and a cultural level, the organizational issues that these human concerns raise, and the resulting implications for managing the merger and acquisition process. With keen insight, the authors delve into a complex web of reactions. The intrigues, cultural clashes, hostilities, and tensions that emerged from this "friendly" merger are mind-boggling.
