Merger as an emigration

Article Abstract:

There are significant parallels between an organizational merger and the process of emigration and immigration. In both cases, there is an initial period of uncertainty. Employees must review their priorities if a merger is due to take place, while those who are planning to emigrate must take with them only the bare essentials. The period of uncertainty may followed by feelings of loss and irreversible change. Once the merger or emigration has actually taken place, there is a sense of newness and alienation.
