Human Resource Due Diligence within the Context of Mergers & Acquisitions

More about the book

Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) are essential for corporate growth and international expansion, yet research has traditionally emphasized financial and legal factors. This thesis highlights the critical role of human resources and cultural integration in M&A success, addressing the alarming nearly fifty percent failure rate of such deals. It argues for a comprehensive understanding of cultural fit as a vital component of effective integration strategies, reflecting a shift towards recognizing the importance of people and culture in achieving optimal synergies between merging corporations.
