Symbiosis integration strategy

Duncan N. Angwin

Chapter 148 in Elgar Encyclopedia of Mergers and Acquisitions, 2026, pp 400-401 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter examines Haspeslagh and Jemison's symbiosis integration strategy, which seeks to blend two organisations into a unique entity. With a focus on preserving autonomy while fostering interdependence, it emphasises collaboration, trust-building, and incremental changes. The chapter discusses the long timelines, challenges in maintaining distinct identities, and the potential for dynamic interactions to sustain innovation and achieve synergy beyond traditional integration end-states.
