摘要:Research suggests that an increasing number of people experience organisational changes such as mergers and acquisitions as highly emotional life events. Indeed, given that, as the authors prove, 70 per cent of all mergers and acquisitions fail to reach their initial goals largely because of neglected people issues, it is a must for every manager and M & A researcher to understand the emotional side of such change processes.
