Download or read book The HR Guide to European Mergers and Acquisitions written by James F. Klein and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: News of a merger or acquisition is a big event in the life of a company, which stirs uncertainty, anxiety and fear. The changes, redundancies and so on, that often follow this news, are a further source of turmoil for the employees of both companies involved. There is no magic formula to avoid these effects completely. However, good planning, communication and human resource practice can mitigate the worst of them; keep everyone that matters on board; and ensure that the new organization maintains your reputation for sensitive people management. Get it wrong, on the other hand, and you may lose the very people you were most anxious to keep; put the success of the process at risk and even face employment tribunals or other legal proceedings. In addition, imagine how these processes are complicated by any transnational elements. James F. Klein and Robert-Charles Kahn provide a practical, hands-on guide to successfully integrating HR functions following any merger or acquisition within Europe. The book guides you step by step, providing the methodology, tools, sequence of events and necessary material. It includes comparative tables, tips and stories illustrating the differences, specific issues and pitfalls that are particular to the different European countries. 20 years of human resources experience across companies in continental Europe has gone into creating this blueprint to successfully implementing the people side of successful mergers and acquisitions.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2002 in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,3 (A), University of Applied Sciences Essen (Institute for Economics and Management), course: Mudule Human Resource Management, language: English, abstract: The purpose of this assignment is a critical review of company mergers and acquisitions regarding different human resource management related aspects. It will be analysed what impacts a merger might have on the organisational structure, on the human resource management strategy and on the required approach regarding intercultural management of the newly created company in relation to the current situation of the merging companies. In addition to that it will be analysed which impact a merger has on the motivation system, the change- and conflict-management and on the human resource management accounting system. Based on practical merger examples the problems of these areas will be described and analysed and a recommendation for solutions will be given when possible. This assignment will give an overview about the human resource related problems and aspects, which companies will face and should consider when a merger is planned. The definition of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) is not absolutely clear in the literature. On one hand side a merger is described as the legal and economical connection of two equal companies of the same size, which can be defined as a classic amalgamation, and an acquisition is described as an economical take over of a small company by a big one.1 On the other hand side the subject M&A also includes the sale of companies, splitting of companies (Asset Stripping), restructurings, spin-offs, joint ventures and alliances.2 Based on this it is not clear if a merger is the same as an amalgamation. Although the Daimler-Chrysler deal and the Renault-Nissan deal are defined and described as mergers it is not obvious if these were classical amalgamations or more acquisitions communicated and presented as mergers.3 According to the purpose of this assignment mergers are defined as classic amalgamation and a share or asset based acquisition. The important item here is that companies with different cultures and backgrounds merge together and have to find a common identity including the consideration of the identities of the merging partners. In the last years a lot of big and small mergers took place between companies from very different countries and cultures.

Download or read book Reaping the Benefits of Mergers and Acquisitions written by John Coffey and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2012-04-27 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Will the early years of the new century continue to witness the huge growth in merger and acquisition activity which marked the end of the last? The chances are that they will - witness the value of deals carried out by the top five investment banks in the first quarter of 2001 alone ($456.2 billion). The quest for the golden fleece is alive and well. Will the majority of M&As continue to fail to achieve their potential value? This book is about breaking out of the cycle of grand strategy, great prospects, poor implementation, lost opportunities. The authors believe that it is possible for M&As to realise their value - and more. Bringing home the golden fleece involves more than just setting sail in quest for riches. It's about understanding the destination/end game, and working out the most appropriate route. This book has been written with the practitioner in mind, with the thirteen chapters split into three sections. The first section provides an overview of the merger process and outlining the key elements of success. Section Two focuses on the nuts & bolts of managing the integration process - from transition to full integration. Illustrated by a detailed case study of Articon Integralis AG, the leading supplier of IT Security Solutions and Services in Europe. The final section looks at the themes that can make or break mergers - creating the culture of the new organisation, communications, retention and the roles of line managers and HR. Each section is supported by checklists that should be helpful whether you are a novice at the merger game or an expert.

This book was released on 2001-05-30 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financials alone don't make an M&A deal work. Equally important is what's behind them--an organization's people. How to understand this reality and benefit from it is the thrust of this unusually comprehensive, practical, readable, but conceptually rigorous book. Daniel and Metcalf see HR executives as change agents during the delicate maneuverings before a deal is done, and then after, when it's time to tackle the fine-grained problems of integrating disparate corporate cultures and the people who vitalize them. They examine the recent and ongoing waves of mergers and acquisitions across industries, setting them in the broader context of organizational change. With concepts, theory, and real-life examples drawn from their long, impressive experience as consultants and executives, Daniel and Metcalf provide step-by-step guidance through the stages common to all corporate combinations. They define and explain the roles to be played in the process by HR professionals and executives elsewhere in the organization, and show how, by interacting productively with each other, they will thus maximize the total contribution to the success of any corporate transaction.
