Die Rolle der Unternehmenskultur im M

Hardly a day goes by without a spectacular acquisition or merger being reported in the business press. However, several studies have already found that failure rates in M&A transactions are as high as 70 percent, with the differences in corporate cultures between the acquirer and the target company being a particularly controversial factor in the success of M&As. Is there a mismatch between the importance of corporate culture and the way it has been taken into account in the M&A process? The aim of this paper is to clarify the position of corporate culture and thus of the human factor as the key to the success of a business combination. The author Anna Brack uses an explorative study to explore the question of how the measures recommended by science are applied in the below mentioned areas.
