MERGERS and acquisitions : managing culture and human resources (California : Stanford Business Books, 2005)
In mergers and acquistions (M&A), special emphasis is usually placed on the strategic and financial goals of the deal, while the psychological, cultural, and human resource implications do not receive as much attention. This book examines the dynamics of the sociocultural processes inherent in M&A and "fleshes out" their importance for postmerger intergration management.
