Culture and Global Mergers

Stan Lees

Chapter Chapter 16 in Global Acquisitions, 2003, pp 215-248 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In one sense, foreign acquisitions are no different from national acquisitions. Everything that has been covered in earlier chapters applies to the global scene — the detailed planning; the need for skilled integration managers; the careful bringing together of people, structures, controls and cultures; the linking of integration to acquisition strategy. Merger planning and merger implementation on all five continents follow exactly the same principles — and in practice are subject to the same mindset blocks and practical misfortunes.
