Globalisation: Mergers and Demergers Chaos

Patrick Dixon on YouTube - New YouTube Videos

Examples from global banks, pharmaceutical companies and manufacturing. How market analysts push for mergers, acquisitions, demergers and company breakup. Profits for lawyers and banks but most mergers destroy shareholder value. Rationale for global corporations and economies of scale. Talent often leaves corporations soon after a merger is announced, taking intellectual capital, customer knowledge and relationships. Mergers of two corporations and two cultures can look find on a spreadsheet but be hard to carry out in change management terms, combining teams, processes, procedures, locations, offices and business units. Brands and corporate identities can become confused. Mergers require strong, visionary yet sensitive multicultural leadership. Lecture by futurist keynote conference speaker Patrick Dixon for 2008 Stein Am Rhein - facilitated by Professor Prabhu Guptara.
