Abstract

Problems with post acquisition performance still remain for many organizations choosing this stratagem as their means for growth. Much research has been conducted that concentrates on the softer 'cultural' issue surrounding the marriage of two organizations. It has been asserted that organizations are generally poor at amalgamating such human concerns. However, recent evidence has suggested that one of the main reasons for poor post acquisition performance in the recent merger wave of the late 1980s was the failure of organizations to consider fully the implications of merging together the harder Information Systems and Information Technologies. This research, utilizing recent survey data, investigates this issue.
