Abstract

This research aimed to discover strategies in integrating a new culture within the merger companies. The strategies have elements including values, phases, leader role, and the system of cul- tural integration construction. This research used a meta-analysis with an expose facto research de- sign. Findings indicate new cultural integrations were carried out by many companies through demon- strating internal and external values. Integrations are implemented through ‘pre, process, and post- merger’. The most important in the preliminary stage is started by benchmarking, leading entire stages, and keeping a balance of collaboration between human and non-human aspects as well as leader and member components. This study concludes that the identified strategies highly contributed to effec- tive management changes at micro, meso, and macro level. The implication is that leaders have to con- sider new cultural integration strategies properly. Since this study were based on meta analysis find- ings, future research needs to include empirical data originated from merging organizations.
