Industry consolidation has been increasing for many years. One of the greatest challenges faced in a merger or acquisition is cultural clashing. Bringing two or more cultures together under a single leadership is a daunting task, and the rise or fall of the new company often depends on this key component being done well. To increase the opportunity for successful mergers or acquisitions, focus must be placed on the creation and implementation of a pervasive, well-defined corporate culture.

Companies with well formulated cultures are more able to acquire new business ventures or merge with established enterprises with less disruption and fewer surprises.

Research over the past decade has demonstrated that organizations with a well-defined and aligned culture have in common the following characteristics:

  • Companies with aligned cultures vs. non aligned cultures experience 571% higher gains in operating earnings
  • 417% higher returns on investment
  • Stock prices increased by 363%
