Ensuring success after the deal is signed
Article Abstract:
Good management of employees in a joint venture, following the completion of the deal, is vital. A joint venture will bring with it some misgivings for employees and may lead to key staff leaving the company. Employees must be prepared to work together in order to ensure the success of the new venture. The new company should be seen as standing apart from its parent company, with a clearly defined communication process within the company to help reduce animosity between employees. The management of the joint venture should be left to control and run the new business.

Article Abstract:

Any company acting as an adviser in a takeover deal should obtain human resource details about the bidder and the target, but must also look at human resource issues which are not clear from statistics. These could include the reputation of individual board members, their relationships with each other and how they are viewed by customers and suppliers.
