Role of leadership when merging companies

Organization culture is represented in what leadership establishes as its main concerns, specifically, what it deals with, controls, incentives, and strategies. Organizational culture can be viewed in the way leadership responds to important organizational decisions (Hunt, 2009), such as merging and acquisition (M&A). The obligations of the leader in M&A involve building a clear-cut perception of the organizational culture which is one of the major components that encourage cooperation or mutual relationships between the merging companies (Stahl & Mendenhall, 2005). This teamwork between companies is essential to enhance the potential success of the merging.
