This book was released on 2011-09-14 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2004 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1.0, University of Strathclyde, language: English, abstract: The process of M&A (Mergers & Acquisitions) represents a predominate form of expansion, growth and internationalisation. In the past, M&A research into the strategic fit producing optimal synergies between two corporations has largely focused on the financial, legal and economic aspects of any prospective deal. Only since the increased awareness of a nearly fifty percent failure ratei has there also been growing consciousness of HR’s significance in this equation, together with the cultural aspects of integration strategies, and the cultural factors for globalisation – in other words, the cultural fit! In global terms, there is increasing acknowledgement and awareness of intellectual capital as a core economic resource, rating the significance of a company’s sum of human capital and intellectual property on a par with physical assets such as equipment, plant and inventories. Empirical evidence suggests that the management of cultural and human factors in a M&A implementation is crucial for smooth integration and overall positive outcome. The project work discusses, investigates, and reports on research into the essentials of human resource due diligence and its cultural aspects in a cross-border integration. It focuses on human resource management and cultural integration during a M&A phase. It also points out specific findings on integration using and intensive HR due diligence approach. The issues of discussions are based on a wide range of literature supported by findings of empirical studies published internationally and the M&A knowledge of the management staff . The project intends to tackle the contrast between pre-acquisition motives and post-acquisition behaviour, and the subtle process of sound integration in terms of HR due diligence in general cross-border M&A. The work will touch on the measurement approaches of the field of human resource accounting (HRA), specifically the stochastic rewards valuation model for M&A, as a tools for the measurement of the value of the ROI on human capital. The discussion on cultural integration includes cultural fit, cultural change and management across national cultures in mergers and acquisitions. Addressing these issues is designed to provide further insights for the two companies in question into the significance of HR due diligence in the run-up to any possible merger or an acquisition of ADMECO AG.

Book excerpt: For decades, there has been pervasive evidence that mergers and acquisitions (M&A) often fail to meet their expected financial targets. Although researchers have suggested that many of the factors which contribute to suboptimal acquisition outcomes are “people issues,” acquisition planners frequently give little thought to the people question. The human challenges of M&A are a core concern for human resource (HR) professionals, though they are often granted little influence in acquisition planning. We interviewed Fortune 500 Chief HR Officers to better understand common M&A HR challenges and to develop a set of recommendations for increasing HR's effectiveness during acquisitions. The collective insights of our participants provide an extensive list of considerations that can help to facilitate firm integration, manage people issues, and improve acquisition performance. The most critical points include creating a clear vision for the acquisition, managing cultural differences, prioritizing the retention of key talent, and clear communication between organizations. Our interviewees also suggested that a holistic understanding of the business strategy would make HR practitioners valuable contributors to strategy from early in the acquisition process.

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 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.
