Be wise B4 Uniting

Agreeging to partnership |
As public relations practitioner it is important to consider the following factors before you can merge with other companies:
Portfolio transfer, financial, human implication, the reputation of the company and cultural difference. An
advantage of merging is to increase business sales and bring along customer base. Merging is a way of encouraging growth, open to new channels and markets, for example
if you own XYZ clothing company it would be wise to merge with a manufacturing company because this will strengthen a part of your company that is weak. Merging arises opportunities such as having a platform to introduce a new product on the market.
Consider This!
I personally believe that merging is good for business and again it is not easy. Values should be considered when merging; if your values are not aligned with the other company then you cannot achieve the same goal.
Keep lines of communication open so that employees may be able to come forth with issues they facing. Companies merge because it is a good investment and it will grow the business.
