Description:Healthy mergers are commonly hindered by easily avoidable mistakes: poorly-defined strategic fit, under-resourcing of the integration team and lack of attention from senior management during the integration process. In this essential new book, the authors recognize the importance of a strong managerial discipline and extensive integration experience in counteracting these problems. This book offers fresh, practical ideas about the role of CEOs and senior management in post-merger integration, and suggests innovative, realistic approaches to accomplish strong post-merger success.
