You are currently employed as a mid-tier manager at a large multi-national entity. Last week, you heard that your company is being acquired by a competitor from another country. Whilst this has been communicated as a positive and mutually beneficial development by the General Manager of your company, you have some reservations based on your experience at other organisations.

Required:

Based on your knowledge of post-acquisition integration, what are your immediate and long-term concerns? What actions might you take? Discuss.
