Merger integration

Merger integration

Merger integration, or post-merger integration refers to the aspect of an organizational merger that involves combining the original socio-technical systems of the merging organizations into one such newly-combined system.

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
