Summary: | Thesis (M.B.A.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Sloan School of Management, 1999. === Includes bibliographical references (leaves 122-126). === The ability of mergers and acquisition transactions to generate enhanced shareholder value often hinges on successful integration. Our thesis examines this critical phase of merger activity. Through six discrete case studies and interviews with the individuals who led those transactions, we identify the important discriminators that differentiate success from failure. In addition, we highlight the firms and processes that are emerging as benchmarks in this area. === by Albert K. Killen and Kevin P. Lawlor. === M.B.A.
