| Abstract: | A fundamental assumption of strategies of growth through mergers is that once the merger is completed,its benefits will follow automatically. The need for explicit efforts toward postmerger integration has been demonstrated. The framework provided for thinking about postmerger integration,in terms of procedural,psychical and managerial/ sociocultural elements of integration, can be used by managers to identify integration needs in their own organizations. The key challenge facing merger managers is to develop coherent strategies to fulfill those needs. |
