Abstract

This paper aims to reveal the Taiwanese financial institution organizational configuration relationship between organizational conditions and post merger management. Based on literature review, we find that the organizational condition when merger happen mainly are: (1) Asymmetry of power, (2) Similarity of structure and (3) Similarity of business. The post-merger organizational management behavior mainly are: (1) Top management team restructuring, (2) Organizational structure re-design and (3) The integration of operation, service, working process and system.

After interviewing and analysis of 4 financial institution merger cases, we find that: (1) During the period of after-merger integration, in terms of “importance of integration objective”, these three independent variables of organizational conditions negatively affect three dependent variables of organizational management of post-merger integration. Of three organizational management behaviors, from bottom to top in the light of configuration relationship, will weaken the importance of post-merger management. (2) During the period of after-merger integration, in terms of “possibility of integration objective”, these three independent variables of organizational conditions positively affect three dependent variables of organizational management of post-merger integration. Of three organizational management behaviors, from top to bottom in the light of configuration relationship, will strengthen the possibility of post-merger management..
