Mergers and acquisitions
Case Study
Two higher education institutions in the same town were being required to merge together as a result of pressure politically and financially. The two institutions provided some overlap and some distinct services. They were each established at different times to achieve different purposes, and each had their own cultures and reputations. One was a considerably larger enterprise than the other, and consequently had a greater income and larger capital stock.
Staff were very reluctant to merge. They felt that merging was imposed on them, and couldn’t see the sense in the proposition. All the merger meetings that were set up were poorly attended, and there seemed to be no one who could provide decent advice on what to do. Staff sickness and absence began to get even worse than normal (it was already running high and out of control), and staff were looking for jobs elsewhere.
