Mercer, a global consulting leader in advancing health, wealth and career, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Marsh & McLennan Companies (NYSE:MMC), recently launched their third global research report in a series of continuing M&A Readiness Research: Culture in M&A: Can You Afford to Get it Wrong? This report will help organizations better understand how managing culture in M&A drives economic value.

Business leaders are encouraged to take the survey before the June 15th closing date. A complimentary copy of the research report will be available for all survey participants. Mercer will donate US$25 on behalf of each of the first 500 participants to one of two global charities: Doctors without Borders or ProLiteracy.

“As M&A transactions become increasingly complex, the findings of this survey will uncover data, tangible insights and practical direction that will be of value to both buyers and sellers as they consider their next transaction,” said Jeff Cox, Senior Partner and Mercer’s Global M&A Transaction Services Leader.

“Culture in M&A” joins “People Risks in M&A Transactions” and “Flight Risk in M&A” as the third in a series of M&A Readiness Research reports from Mercer’s M&A Transaction Services practice that analyze and recommend best practices in people-related deal issues.
