Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

This eye-opening study, based on the authors' direct and personal observation of a bank merger, has three basic analytical focuses: the human issues presented by mergers at both an individual and a cultural level, the organizational issues that these human concerns raise, and the resulting implications for managing the merger and acquisition process. With keen insight, the authors delve into a complex web of reactions. The intrigues, cultural clashes, hostilities, and tensions that emerged from this "friendly" merger are mind-boggling. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

From the Inside Flap

... The dynamics that characterized the dual nature of the merger run the gamut of human responses to a stressful situation: trust and betrayal, openness and deception, hope and despair, support and retaliation--all driven by nascent opportunities or restricted options... --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not published in 2003, February 26, 2007
This is a classical book in the area of HRM in M&As. However, this book is not a new version of Buono & Bowditch (1989). It is just a reprint in 2003. So if you are looking for new references of recent studies, you will not find it here...
I think amazon should change March 2003 phrase next to the title since it is misleading.
