Retaining Management After the Merger:
   Learn the implications of Jeffrey Krug's 1000+ firm study identifying the high cost of corporate mergers and acquisitions on executive turnover. The study was co-authored with Accenture's Walt Shill. Churn can endure for over ten years, exceeding 30% in year one and more than 20% over the course of a decade. Multiple takeover targets suffer even higher turnover. The result is lower performance, which can be mitigated with well planned employee retention programs.
