About this title

Synopsis

How much does national culture and management style influence acquisitions and post-acquisition management? The book explores the different ways in which companies from varying cultures and nationalities approach the task of integrating new UK acquisitions into their group, and examines the question of whether any one method of integration seems to be superior to another in terms of resultant performance of the newly-acquired subsidiary.
