When Cultures Collide: The Anatomy of a Merger
研究了两家互助储蓄银行并购前后的组织文化与氛围,发现即使在同一行业,合并两种不同但可行的组织文化也存在重大困难。
An extended case study of a recent merger between two mutual savings banks is studied from the perspective of organizational culture. Data on organizational culture and organizational climate are analyzed from pre- and post-merger interviews, observations, archival information, and survey questionnaires. Results suggest that even within the same industry, there are major difficulties in trying to merge two different though viable organizational cultures.
