When performing the integration of the target, how do you make sure when looking at the different functional streams, you remain objective and not biased against the target you are integrating. Some of the processes of the tagets might be better than yours…but this would then imply changing on the acquirer side.
This is a bit hard, as it will definitely be biased to which company is the biggest shareholder. The company with a bigger brand would want its system to be intact.
