Abstract

'Organizational flirts and marriages - alliances, mergers and acquisitions - are dramatic examples of how soft cultures can produce hard facts of success or failure. Decisions born from human vanity can lead to destruction of human capital. The chapters selected by Ulijn, Duysters and Meijer illustrate the many facets of organizational family life for the scholar and, hopefully, for the decision-maker who considers another move.' © Jan Ulijn, Geert Duysters and Elise Meijer 2010.
