Management Issues

Chapter 6 in Reducing the M&A Risks, 2006, pp 83-105 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The CIO has a dual management responsibility in an M&A: on the one hand he or she should be part of the senior management team responsible for decisions about the transaction as a whole; on the other hand the CIO has to manage directly the integration of the IT function across the organisations involved in the deal. A survey of senior managers reported by Roythorn (1997) noted that the key lessons respondents learned from their involvement in M&As revolved around planning. Planning should have been done earlier and more efficiently and should include thorough due diligence. The other point emphasised was to recognise what you do not know or cannot do and to seek help promptly.
