A very interesting and valuable training session, which was delivered by someone who quite clearly was passionate about the subject matter.
Kirsteen Magee, Supply Chain Coordinator, Team Leader, Pfizer (UK)In today’s global environment, mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures are increasingly becoming an expectation rather than exception for companies and managers working in a multinational context. Although such fusions are often near-perfect matches in terms of product and/or technical expertise, it is estimated that between 60% and 80% of cross-cultural mergers fail—largely because the issue of cultural difference was not taken into account during the preparation and implementation process.
Indeed, direct losses, underperformance, opportunity costs and poor return on investment can all be related to a failure to apply cultural awareness throughout the pre and post-merger planning and implementation processes. In response to a growing need for a culturally sensitive approach to effecting cross-cultural mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures, Communicaid’s Managing International Mergers and Acquisitions courses take an intercultural approach, linking the cultural dimension as a central component to every stage of the merger process.
