Conflict prevention in restructuring and mergers
Reorganizations and mergers are always associated with stress. Suppressed conflicts come to the surface. If the people affected are not persuaded to become stakeholders, resistance will set in against the planned changes. When mergers take place, there are inevitably differences between the corporate cultures and systems of the partners. This can lead to a breakdown in the merger process. The emotions of those involved play a crucial role. Professional support by means of mediative organizational development significantly enhances the likelihood of success.
