Overview: Mergers and acquisitions often require companies to combine R&D functions. Some recent mergers provide models for other manufacturers. While all departments of merging companies must blend and integrate, R&D face unique challenges and opportunities. In fact, some R&D executives believe a merger or acquisition is the time to actually exploit chaos, break momentum, and make the sweeping changes to organization, process, structure, and culture that are not possible under normal conditions. Hence, like other departments in merging companies, the first orders of business in R&D are maintaining current projects and customer relationships as well as addressing the personal and professional needs of the people involved in the merger or acquisition.
