Problem:
Organizational Behavior Issues Paper: ABC, Inc. is a competitor of your organization headquartered in a different country on a different continent. ABC has just announced that its shareholders approved the acquisition of your company. As the CEO in the acquired company, you have been asked to start the process of creating the changes necessary to make the merger/acquisition succeed. You are being held accountable for maintaining your organization's performance measures while dealing with the human elements of this situation.
Describe the key challenges that will face the organizations as they merge. To accomplish this, you need to do the following: 1. State the assumptions you will use for your analysis (specifically, the industry for both companies and the country where each company is located). In addition, identify the specific organizations you will be discussing (in other words, select a company that will be "ABC, Inc." for your specific situation). 2. Identify the elements of your organization's culture and your perceptions of the importance of each element for your organization to operate effectively. 3. Using the text reading and University Library resources (at least 3 peer-reviewed sources), identify the key elements of ABC's organizational culture. 4. Assess the challenges in creating cooperation between the two organizations. What elements of national culture need to be taken into account when assessing the challenges of the merger?
