The role of culture compatibility in successful organizational marriage
Abstract
Executive Overview Despite the initial optimism, many organizational marriages prove to be financially disappointing. Given the consistently high rate of merger and acquisition failure, the selection of a suitable organizational bedfellow is a major financial decision. Selection decisions are generally driven by financial and strategic considerations, yet many organizational alliances fail to meet expectations because the cultures of the partners are incompatible. Based on recent research, this article examines the role of culture compatibility in determining venture outcomes. It focuses on the complex interaction between the existing type of premarital culture of the partners and the terms and interpretation of the type of marriage contract the parties believed they had entered.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
