competitor of your organization headquartered in a different country on a
different continent. ABC has just announced that its shareholders approved the
acquisition of your company. As the CEO in the acquired company, you have been
asked to start the process of creating the changes necessary to make the
merger/acquisition succeed. You are being held accountable for maintaining your
organization’s performance measures while dealing with the human elements of
this situation.
Describe the key challenges that will face the organizations
as they merge. To accomplish this, you need to do the following:
1. State the assumptions you will use for your analysis
(specifically, the industry for both companies and the country where each
company is located). In addition, identify the specific organizations you will
be discussing (in other words, select a company that will be “ABC,
Inc.” for your specific situation).
2. Identify the elements of your organization’s culture and
your perceptions of the importance of each element for your organization to
operate effectively.
3. Using the text reading and University Library resources
(at least 3 peer-reviewed sources), identify the key elements of ABC’s
organizational culture.
4. Assess the
challenges in creating cooperation between the two organizations. What elements
of national culture need to be taken into account when assessing the challenges
of the merger?
