Book Description

Dec 8 2010

A leadership blueprint for managing cross-cultural issues in any M&A deal

In our rapidly expanding and increasingly volatile global economy, mergers and acquisitions are becoming the strategy of choice for businesses seeking to stimulate growth while managing risk. As more and more M&A deals are struck between global organizations, difficult new issues involving cultural differences have arisen.

In The Global M&A Tango, international management experts Fons Trompenaars and Maarten Nijhoff Asser explain how to detect and manage these issues before they become major problems.

Drawing on the world-renowned Trompenaars Hampden-Turner Cross-Cultural Database and Culture Compass, the authors illustrate how widely cultures can differ and, by reconciling the dilemmas created by that difference, how they can be integrated quickly, efficiently, and effectively.

The Global M&A Tango helps you meet all the challenges of cross-national M&A by:

  • Creating common mission, vision, strategy, and values
  • Developing trust across value boundaries
  • Enabling people with different cultural perspectives to engage in valuable discussions

Change-management programs all too often ignore the culture perspectives of the individuals and groups involved--and it's often why organizations fail to realize the benefits that prompted the integration in the first place.

With The Global M&A Tango, you have everything you need to integrate two old entities into a powerful new organization poised for dramatic growth in the coming decades.

1.0 out of 5 stars Read before you buy Nov 1 2012
By Book lover - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
The title of this book should be either "the human touch of M&A" or "Organizational integration and M&A" since this is what this book about. I bought this book for its title "The global M&A tango" and trying to learn more about the "global" part of M&A. Unfortunately the title is misleading that the content does not really touch on what I am looking for. There are many issues and unique perspectives about "global" M&A and I have to look for other books and resources. This book is not a good choice if that's what you are looking for.

Trompenaars provides a wealth of concepts that will benefit those involved in cross-cultural mergers and acquisitions. It goes beyond what has been written and challenges those involved in combining organizations to step beyond the simplistic and to reconcile the inevitable dilemmas faced.
