Opis

This work assesses the contribution that psychology can make to our understanding of the merger phenomena, both in terms of its impact on organizational performance and on the managers and employees involved. It places emphasis on the issue of cultural compatibility as it concerns partner selection, integration practices and venture outcomes. The book also focuses on cross-national mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures.
