| dc.description.abstract | The objective of this study was to examine the role of communication capabilities, organizational capabilities and cultural integrating strategies and their effects on the attainment of synergy value in the case of Policy Studies Institute (PSI). In order to address this objective, the study employed both descriptive and explanatory research method and took employees of the organization as primary data sources. The appropriate firsthand information was collected through questionnaires. The study employed census method and took the 73 employees working at PSI to fill out the questionnaires. From the distributed questionnaires 68 questionnaires were filled and returned. The collected data was analyzed using quantitative statistical tools. A multiple regression was run to predict the effects of communication, organizational capability and cultural integrating strategy during the merger have on realized synergies. The study found out that out of the three, only two variables communication and cultural integrating strategy has statistically significantly effect on realized synergies. The highest contributing predictor was communication and the next was cultural integrating strategy. The study recommended the development and use of comprehensive and an inclusive communication practice can smoothen the merger process. Moreover, the study suggested that a pre-merger evaluation of the potential cultural differences between organizations going through a merger is important in order to increase the synergy values attained at the post-merger. | en_US |
