Merger/Acquisition Transition Plan
Mergers/Acquisitions are complex and risky endeavors but this is a common and accepted strategy in business today. This plan will help create a strategy for leadership (path-goal theory) to address the needs of the group. This plan will provide organized information to help make the right decisions, simplify the integration process, provide business information, processes, and identify expectations. The implementation of this plan will benefit the business by integrating efforts to reduce business risk, help the integration be organized, managed, and cross- functional.
