There are many reasons why mergers oftentimes fail to create anticipated value: flawed combination strategies, missed business life cycles, incompatible cultures, and loss of key personnel, just to name a few. But the most often cited reason is failure to run a robust integration process that addresses integration challenges in a coordinated manner, starting early in the process and measuring synergy results going forward.
