5.0 out of 5 stars Mergers and Acquisitions; managing cultural and human resources, June 18, 2008
This review is from: Mergers and Acquisitions: Managing Culture and Human Resources (Stanford Business Books) (Hardcover)
This is a scholarly work that is probably the seminal piece on the value and importance of post merger cultural integration
It is particularly useful as it reviews M&A's in the English and Non- English speaking world.Such as; Samsung(Korea),Seimens,(Germany),GlaxoSmithKline (USA and UK)or academics such as; IngarBjorkman Professorof Management Swedish School of Economics(Finland),Paul Evens Proffeessor Human Resources and Organisational Development INSEAD(France and Singapore).The Co-Editor Stahl is also from INSEAD.
It confirms my own research on M&As which reveals that 80% of them fail to deliver the pre-merger promise and that 90% of the target company's people leave within 2 years of the event.
It is presented in a unique fashion, each paper is reviewed by a subject matter expert.
However the presentation could be enhanced if there was at the beginning of each paper or review a biography of the author/s
so that their respective experiences could be guaged.

Don't let this stop you from buying as it really worth while.
