Abstract
Competition is fierce, and companies must team up to survive in an industry where specialized knowledge is sovereign. One of the largest, most critical, and most difficult parts of a business merger is the successful integration of the enterprise networks of the merger partners. BPO Systems has the expertise and skills to make your merger or acquisition a much smoother process. An attempt has been made to draw the results of only some of the earlier studies while analyzing the causes of failure of majority of the mergers in this exploratory Research paper. Making the mergers work successfully is not that easy as here we are not only just putting the two organizations together but also integrating people of two organizations with different cultures, attitudes and mindsets. While making the merger deals, it is necessary not only to make analysis of the financial aspects of the acquiring firm but also the cultural and people issues of both the concerns for proper post-acquisition integration and to make the combination successful.
