Abstract: This chapter examines boundary spanning in mergers and acquisitions, focusing on individuals who connect internal and external networks to facilitate knowledge transfer and value creation. It highlights the role of managers, union representatives, and HR practices in navigating boundaries within and between organisations. The chapter emphasises the importance of mapping inter-individual connections and understanding entangled boundaries to smooth synergies in mergers and facilitate integration.
