During a merger, an often ignored point is soft skills. Are you killing a potentially good merger by failing to integrate two cultures? How does one make sure that differences in culture and philosophy don’t spoil all the good work? A business could be a strategic fit, but mergers tend to fail if the buyer is not able to successfully integrate two cultures together.
