During any M & A (Merger and Acquisition) process, a lot of organizational changes are observed. To ensure that such deal- making transition remains smooth, some steps need to be followed. First of all, the corporate strategy has to be prioritized over the near- term opportunistic gains. Value creation too needs to be accorded top status right from the beginning. For this value creation, a broad and detailed plan needs to be put in place. Next up, there needs to be a clear focus on the team members, the talent management processes and the intangibles. Due investment must be geared towards integration spending, as it pays dividends in the future. Both sides must learn how to think like their counterparts. Value- destroying biases must be eliminated during this process. Finally, the new entity must be clear about what may be termed as success for the team. This definition may vary.
