An organizational merger involves two organizations coming together and integrating their people and systems into one entity.
Overview[]
The process of combining two or more organizations into a single organization involves several organizational systems, such as people, resources and tasks [1] . The process of combining these systems is known as 'integration'.
Integration fits within an organizational life-cycle or specific business mergers & acquisitions cycle where businesses buy, integrate then dispose of other businesses:
- Definition of vision & strategy
- Selection of growth method: organic vs inorganic
- Target identification
- Pre-deal evaluation & due diligence
- Negotiation & deal completion
- Post-merger integration
- Ongoing improvement
- Disposal
