Is the speed of post-acquisition integration manageable? Case study

This study aims to fill in the gaps in existing business history research regarding post-acquisition integration by adopting a case study of the post-acquisition integration process between HSBC and Mercantile Bank (MB) 1959–84. It explores the impact of the institutional environment and organisational transformation on the speed of integration and tries to explain why the integration between HSBC and MB took so long. This study may also give some indications to the current emerging multinational companies (MNCs) from the developing countries
