Management

250 words

As a leader/manager, one circumstance you may encounter is the necessity to integrate or merge two organizational units. This can be a

stressful period which, if not properly managed, can cause a good deal of tension and/or conflict, often leading to decreased

organizational performance.

Consider that senior management has dictated that your unit will merge with another manager’s unit over the next three months. You will

be the leader of the newly merged group. The previous manager will remain on your staff. Senior management has asked you to submit a

merger plan. (If you have previously been involved in an actual unit merger, please share the organizational dynamics you experienced

as well as any lessons learned.)
