Question

Choose a merger or acquisition and provide two reasons that made the merger successful or unsuccessful. Be sure to report whether it was a merger or acquisition. Cite your sources.

Answer 1

The most prominent example of successful and natural merger can be of Pixar and Disney.

It was successful because of these two primary reasons:

1. Pixar had technical ability to create content like of movies Car and Toy Story while Disney had much better marketing and distribution tactics with experience of decades in the film. Integration of both formed concrete organisation

2. Pixar and Disney were working in tandem since many years and employees were aware of the cross culture. Further, Pixar employees were given freedom to express their creativity and not forced to sign an employee contract. This allowed for natural succession to the new company and new goals.
