A CASE STUDY ON THE CAUSES OF RESISTANCE TO ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE IN BUSINESS MERGERS
Abstract
Enterprises pursue mergers for various strategic purposes such as increasing their competitiveness, maintaining their presence in the sector and growing. Especially in international markets, actors that implement merger strategies gain strength, and merged enterprises can stand out in the sector with the synergy created. However, an important issue in mergers is intra-organizational resistance. Intra-organizational resistance is caused by the resistance of the employees in the merged enterprises to the change in the organizational climate caused by the merger, and for this reason, the merger often fails. The aim of this study is to classify the reasons for resistance to change in mergers and for this purpose, the case of the Daimler-Chrysler merger, which took place in 1998 and dissolved in 2007, is analyzed. Accordingly, the reasons for resistance to organizational change in the Daimler-Chrysler Merger are divided into two as institutional and individual reasons. Cultural differences, integration incompatibilities in operational processes, interdepartmental and interpersonal conflicts, uncertainties in power sharing and employment policies are the reasons for resistance. Habits, concerns about the future, and disbelief in the success of the business after the merger can be counted among the reasons for individual resistance to change.
