Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Business economics - Industrial Management, grade: 1,7, University of Applied Sciences Essen, course: Master of Business Administration (MBA), language: English, abstract: This assignment intends to present, analyze and assess the key factors playing a major role in the success of the post-merger integration. Although the statistic says that failed mergers are many more than those being successful, some success stories such as those from ABB, Chemical/Manufacturer’s Hanover, Bank of America/Schwab or GE Capital show that successfully managing corporate performance after a merger process is not only possible but also highly rewarding for those companies managing to do it. Therefore in this assignment we will try to give an answer to the following questions: Why some merger processes are not successful while some others are? What are the differences between them? What are the causes?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1,7, University of Applied Sciences Berlin, language: English, abstract: Today's economy is shaped by globalization with market conditions changing rapidly and com-petition growing in many areas. In order to stay competitive, in every region of the world very often companies try to merge with other companies from either within their own market or from other regions or markets. Mergers and acquisitions (M&A), the term itself is used for diverse kinds of cooperation between companies, received a lot of public attention during the past dec-ades as several major M&A transactions have been effected. Although during the current worldwide economic struggles the global M&A transaction volume declined, expansion through M&As remains a central corporate growth strategy tool. To merge companies successfully, integration and harmonization processes which require a lot of attention and resources are very important in order to align the previously separate compa-nies' operations, strategies and culture. As only very few M&A transactions generate satisfying results and achieve their strategic and financial objectives, subject of this paper is to determine the requirements for successful post merger integration. After describing the range of motives for companies to engage in M&A, I will explain the challenges and the importance of post merger integration management (PMI) and provide guidelines how it can contribute to make a M&A transaction a success.

Download or read book ReOrg written by Stephen Heidari-Robinson and published by Harvard Business Review Press. This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Practical Guide in Five Steps Most executives will lead or be a part of a reorganization effort (a reorg) at some point in their careers. And with good reason—reorgs are one of the best ways for companies to unlock latent value, especially in a changing business environment. But everyone hates them. No other management practice creates more anxiety and fear among employees or does more to distract them from their day-to-day jobs. As a result, reorgs can be incredibly expensive in terms of senior-management time and attention, and most of them fail on multiple dimensions. It’s no wonder companies treat a reorg as a mysterious process and outsource it to people who don’t understand the business. It doesn’t have to be this way. Stephen Heidari-Robinson and Suzanne Heywood, former leaders in McKinsey’s Organization Practice, present a practical guide for successfully planning and implementing a reorg in five steps—demystifying and accelerating the process at the same time. Based on their twenty-five years of combined experience managing reorgs and on McKinsey research with over 2,500 executives involved in them, the authors distill what they and their McKinsey colleagues have been practicing as an “art” into a “science” that executives can replicate—in companies or business units large or small. It isn’t rocket science and it isn’t bogged down by a lot of organizational theory: the five steps give people a simple, logical process to follow, making it easier for everyone—both the leaders and the employees who ultimately determine a reorg’s success or failure—to commit themselves to and succeed in the new organization.

This book was released on 2014-02-01 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Business Development, Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) have become an increasingly attractive growth opportunity among companies over a long period of time. Nowadays, there is hardly a day where current developments of ongoing M&A transactions or speculations about presumed M&A deals cannot be followed in the daily press.It is proved that a huge number of M&A did not deliver on their promises. The majority of failed M&A are a result of mismanagement during the Post Merger Integration (PMI) when processes have to be adjusted, personnel need to be teamed up and corporate cultures have to be reconciled.This study deals predominantly with aspects of synergy management whereby the main focus is on synergy tracking as a support function of the synergy management. An emphasis is on the analysis of realization efforts that need to be done by the management during the PMI. To provide a solution and ease the aforementioned issues of synergy realization, a synergy tracking tool, which serves as an effective support instrument during the PMI is developed.

Download or read book Critical Success Factors in the Post M A IT Integrations written by Maria E. Botchkova and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mergers and acquisitions (M&As) often leave companies struggling to reach financial targets in part due to the need to deal with complex and disconnected information systems. This study examines post-M&A IT systems integration to identify critical factors for success in this process, focusing on improving understanding of the role of alignment between M&A strategy as a whole and IT integration decisions. Decision-making with respect to IT system consolidation is discussed in the context of the Wijnhoven et al. 2006 article, "Post-merger IT integration strategies: An IT alignment perspective." This study looks at eight companies in different industries with revenues ranging from $100 million to over $80 billion and varying levels of acquisition experience. The study highlights several key success factors, including strategic rationale, early IT involvement, cultural fit, and mature IT processes. Experienced "serial acquirers" were observed to put less of a premium on following strict, conventional guidelines on ensuring the alignment of M&A and IT integration objectives, being more willing to keep IT systems independent if that solution best matched the acquisition's general value goals. In contrast, less experienced acquirers tended to have an aspiration to adhere more rigidly to the alignment model laid out by Wijnhoven et al. (2006).

Imagination is one of the least understood but most crucial ingredients of success. It's what makes the difference between an incremental change and the kinds of pivots and paradigm shifts that are essential to transformation—especially during a crisis. The Imagination Machine is the guide you need to demystify and operationalize this powerful human capacity, to inject new life into your company, and to head into unknown territory with the right tools at your disposal.
