Acquisition Integration: Creating the Atmosphere for Value Creation

Philippe C. Haspeslagh and David B. Jemison

Chapter 17 in The Management of Corporate Acquisitions, 1994, pp 448-479 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The integration process is the key to making acquisitions work. Value creation can occur only after the two firms come together and begin to work toward the acquisition’s purpose. Moreover, the postacquisition management task is extremely complex for several reasons. First, integration must be both detail-oriented and subtle. Integration involves interactions between the firms that directly affect capability transfer, and also, interactions which have an indirect impact and are directed at the general integration atmosphere and context.
