Post Merger Intergration (PMI)

Buying a company is easy. Making that purchased company succeed in the post‐purchase environment is something else altogether. Just as anyone can get married, anyone can buy a company. But not everyone can make a marriage successful, and many companies wind up selling (divorcing themselves of) the very companies they initially enthusiastically acquired, often selling for a fraction of the original purchase price. I am going to analyzes issues related to cultural integration and discuss some of the change management processes focused on culture as the core component to resolve many of PMI issues.
