Cultural change

Satu Teerikangas

Chapter 36 in Elgar Encyclopedia of Mergers and Acquisitions, 2026, pp 93-94 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter examines post-acquisition cultural change, focusing on the complexities of cultural integration in both domestic and cross-border mergers and acquisitions. It explores acculturation processes and the phases of cultural change aligned with acquisition stages. Means to foster cultural change, including shared norms and trust, are discussed alongside the stress of culture shock. It highlights the dual impact of national and organizational cultures and calls for further research into multifaceted cultural interactions.
