Abstract


Changing economic scenario is presenting various challenges. These changing, economic environments bought joint ventures, Mergers and Acquisition and are growing modes of expansion. Organization culture is one such important attribute that indicates how organizations work. From a strategic perspective knowing organization culture and its effect on People, Processes and structure can give distinct advantage to organizations undergoing Merger or Acquisition. This study examined the impact of organization culture on the people behaviour during M&A. The data was collected from 100 employees in a structured questionnaire with one part to understand cultural differences pre and post M&A and second part to understand the people behaviour pre and post M&A. The study found a significant impact of organizational culture on the people behaviour specifically during M&A.
