碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 商學研究所 === 93 === During this age of globalization, the pressure for industries to pursue constant growth has been increased due to the growing fierce competition among them. However, industries might encounter a bottleneck for growth due to the limited internal resources, and seek for everlasting business through external growth. Hence, Merger & Acquisition has become the mostly common used method. One of the biggest M&A case in high-tech industry, the merger between Hewlett-Packard and Compaq, has brought to us rich examples in business management, organizational changes, and human resources management. Hence, this research paper, through the study of related documents of M&A cases and the direct participation in the integration process of the writer, will analyze the integration strategy and process, understand the major organizational changes caused by the integration, and study the human resources management during the process. This research will go through the “Organization DNA” concept as a tool to examine the changes of the four bases of organization DNA of the two companies after the merger. Moreover, this research will study the integration strategy and execution done, especially the “Clean Room” practice, and analyze the changes of the organization DNA of HP, through the study of related theories, direct observation, and questionnaires. The major purposes of this research are: 1.Studying on the success/failure factors during the merger of HP and Compaq, 2.Analyzing the influences caused by “Clean Room” practices on cultural integration, 3.Understanding the Human Resources management during the merger, and 4.Examining the integration process and its influence to the changes of organization DNA.
