Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Integrating culture is a top challenge reported by almost 70% of major U.S. corporations in mergers and acquisitions. This is because merging two different company cultures can lead to conflicts, differing values, and communication barriers. In order to successfully integrate, both companies' cultures must be evaluated and a plan must be put in place to ensure a cohesive and collaborative work environment. The other options (selecting an appropriate CEO, paying for the transaction, laying off employees, and deciding on a location for the new headquarters) may also be challenges in mergers and acquisitions, but integrating culture is consistently reported as the top challenge.
