Kongsberg Maritime: The Complexity of Post-Merger and Acquisition Integration
內容大綱
Kongsberg Maritime, a Norway-based company well known for its high-tech ship equipment, succeeded in acquiring Rolls-Royce Commercial Marine in April 2019. Kongsberg Maritime aimed to strengthen its position as a global technology leader by expanding its product portfolio and revenue, enhancing its international setup, and improving overall performance. In the following years, the company faced the challenges of integrating people and products from both large and diverse companies, and of adapting its organizational structure. It had to make two key strategic decisions: the approach to integration (operational, structural, or human) and the location strategy (centralized or decentralized).
