Mergers and acquisitions are increasingly becoming the preferred route for companies looking to rapidly grow their footprint in terms of market size and employee base. Yet, oftentimes mergers are not successful in creating the desired value. They impact business cycles and cause disruptions and upheavals in the personal and professional lives of employees.
The reasons for failed mergers range from flawed strategies, exit of key personnel to conflicting cultures.
