Rating:
Summary: Essential guide for HR staff
Review: Anyone who has watched the matketplace over the last ten years has observed a couple of trends:

- merger and acquisition activity is on an ever-accelerating uptrend, and

- many mergers fail.

Analysis of the failures in M&A typically point to the difficulty of blending disparate cultures.

Hanson has codified her deep experience in managing the HR aspects of mergers and acquisitions. She has taken a complex and delicate topic, the merger of workforces with different cultures and backgrounds, and created a framework and approach that can be applied to this activity to assure a solid result.

This is a solid piece of work that belongs in the library of every HR professional.
