After the Deal: A Crucial Merger of Styles
Article Abstract:
The recently announced merger between J.P. Morgan Chase and Bank One Corp. provides an interesting challenge in understanding how two different management styles will work together in the new venture. J.P. Morgan Chase's CEO William B. Harrison is a southern gentleman who likes to delegate responsibility. His hand-picked successor in the next two years, James Dimon, has a more aggressive, hands-on style influenced by his former boss Sanford I. Weill, chairman of Citigroup, the leading banking institution in the US. Dimon, who will become president of the merged banks, is expected to succeed Harrison as CEO in 2006. Analysts expect the merger of managerial styles to work because J.P. Morgan Chase executives will handle investment banking while Bank One officials will focus on consumer banking operations.
