    Colleagues,

     

    As promised, I am posting a summary of the responses I received to my M&A Integration resource query, beyond those already posted to BPS.  Many thanks to those of you who responded, and a useful list for those sharing my question.  Need to note off the bat that I was remiss in mentioning one of my staple resources, "Managing Acquisitions" by Haspeslagh & Jemison.  Provides a fantastic foundation about the process.

     

    Others:

     

    Synergy Trap by Mark Sirower (also an HBR article on it)

     

    Andrew Campbell's articles in HBR  (Parenting advantage and desperately seeking synergy, for instance)

     

    Chapter 4 from Syd Finkelstein's book, Why Smart Executives Fail

     

    Angwin, D. N (2000) Implementing successful post-acquisition integration, FT/Prentice Hall (and a new one coming out from Blackwell in 2007)

     

    Amy Pablo's compilation, Mergers & Acquisitions

     

    A book and edited volume by Piero Morisini

     

    Thank you again for all the assistance! mc
