Description
This note is used in Darden's Postmerger Integration elective. The authors present a guide to help managers prepare for integration challenges and allocate integration resources more efficiently. Although simple at first glance, addressing 20 yes-or-no questions can lead to fruitful in-depth conversations that provide a sound foundation for successful PMI planning and execution. By answering these questions in open dialogue, PMI managers and senior executives will expose the potential weaknesses in an upcoming merger and highlight the arenas in which detailed planning is not only warranted but fundamental.
