Various factors such as the improvement of funding, improved technologies, change in customer needs, the global competitive environment and changes in legislation (privatization, free trade, etc.) are forcing mergers and acquisitions. But only every second integration project is successful. The real challenge is often only after the M&A transaction. Is it possible to integrate companies of different structures and exploit the desired synergies? However, the potential for successful mergers is not limited solely to the obvious synergies in terms of costs and turnover. Organizational changes open up further potential for value enhancement.
