Organizational Behavior Issues
Many successful companies are acquired and merged to expand and continue their success within their market base. In this paper writers have been challenged to start the process of creating the changes necessary to make a merger or acquisition successful. They have chosen to explore the merger/acquisition of Bank Universal and Washington Mutual Bank. The announcement as already been made that the shareholders approved the acquisition of the new company. As department managers of the recently acquired company named Bank Universal, we were faced with a task to start the process of creating a smooth transitional change while continuing to meet our department's performance. The writers plan to briefly explain the reason for the acquisition with Washington Mutual Bank as well as reflect and catalog the organizational behavior issues we feel most needed to be addressed within our department during the merger process. The writers were also asked to choose an issue and frame it by explaining how management would research, evaluate and recommend a strategy for this issue.
