Florian Bauer, Kurt Matzler and Daniel Degischer examined the role of organizational learning in M&A and presented their findings at the Make Learn Conference in Zadar, Croatia, last June. The ambivalent results indicate that task integration is learnable while integrating culture is not.
Next to the presentation on speed of integration, on the field of tension between intuitive and deliberate decision-making as well as on brand and marketing relatedness effects in M&A, two SMA master graduates (Melanie Schiener und Marcella Rothermel) took the opportunity to bring up their M&A research results for discussion in Istanbul.
