Description

The managing director of investment banking for Kaupthing Bank hf (Kaupthing) was considering what he would need to do if he accepted a new appointment as chief executive officer of Kaupthing's latest acquisition, U.K.-based investment bank Singer & Friedlander Group plc (Singer). He would have to deal with the fact that the two merging companies had very different cultures, the possibility that some employees may leave as a result of the change and take their clients with them, the fact that he did not know whether there were good managers at Singer who could be ready to be promoted to top management in upcoming years, and many other issues that would have to be addressed.
