Abstract

Through a multi-case study investigating mergers and acquisitions at three leading aerospace and defence firms, I propose adopting a mega-project delivery model for navigating large-scale post-merger integration activity and introduce an empirically based conceptual framework identifying five synergistic success factors that support the integration team and capture deal value. In alignment with a mega-project management approach, these factors include an integration strategy aligned with the deal rationale and organisational context; adaptive, engaged leadership that remains accountable through progress metrics; a comprehensive communications plan addressing all stakeholders; successful management of cultural integration; and identification of an appropriate speed for the specific integration activities.
