Summary: | 碩士 === 淡江大學 === 國際企業學系碩士在職專班 === 104 === For financial institutions, M&A is a good way to improve operational effectiveness, strengthen financial capital, and to accelerate the pace of market expansion. However, for the acquired parties in M&As, the potential loss of career security for employees, coupled with the consolidation often turn out to be the sources of turmoil in the transition period. Given the challenges, there has been numerous M&As that ultimately failed as a consequence of lacking proper human resource strategy in place. Drawing on the past lessons, it’s imperative that the process of M&A due diligence should not solely consider financial factors. Thorough understanding of the cultural and organizational impacts from the M&A need also be incorporated so that the potential issues of human capital can be diagnosed and resolved in early stage.
This study intends to reveal how might people (at the acquired financial institutions) think and feel toward M&As. With interview approaches, the research is designed to collect views from HR executives of one of the acquired institutions selected from recent M&A cases in Taiwan’s financial industry. Only the acquired institutions are included as the target of research since they are the most affected groups in the process of consolidations. It’s hoped that the study would enhance understandings about the roles of psychological factors in M&As, and thereby gives insights into the effective human capital strategy that might lead up to win-win solutions for parties involved in M&As.
