About the Book
This book examines the dynamics of the sociocultural processes inherent in mergers and acquisitions, and draws implications for post-merger integration management.Book Synopsis
In mergers and acquisitions (M&A), special emphasis is usually placed on the strategic and financial goals of the deal, while the psychological, cultural, and human resource implications do not receive as much attention. This book examines the dynamics of the sociocultural processes inherent in M&A and "fleshes out" their implications for postmerger integration management.
The book's contributors come from a variety of subdisciplines within the field of management, and thus provide new insights into the managerial, social, and cultural processes inherent in M&A. Executives with extensive experience managing M&A have offered commentaries at the end of the chapters, providing "real-world" perspective to empirical and theoretical insights.
