Abstract: Legitimation during post-merger integration is a challenging nonlinear process influenced by the key public, private, and hybrid dynamics. In contrast to the planned characterization of merger integration, legitimation is a nonlinear process. Legitimacy is crucial to organizational change, especially in the context of a merger; managers need to understand the oscillating dynamics from public and private logics during the integration period. The legitimation process during a merger comprises three key processes: public, private, and hybrid. These are tools for managers involved in a public–private integration.
