Has anyone found any particular areas of the company(ies) to struggle with post merger integration vs. those that excel (example: IT and operations seem to struggle where finance did not). Why and what drove the end result – departmental culture, complexity, IMO leads, etc.?
I see a lot of success story’s coming from seasoned acquirer’s – it is rare that everything goes to plan when it is a first for the buyer or seller or both.
A lot of the time it is culture, protection of ego, hubris and fear of change that affects adversely the success of a merger. Things get left behind too during DD due to lack of expertise.
This can be a factor too when people who have done many mergers or mistake scale to be the same as complexity and get complacent.
