AmCham Shanghai’s Manufacturers’ Business Council (MBC) and Human Resources Committee welcomes you to attend a joint roundtable event on post-merger integration in China.
As profits remain strong but growth slows due to increasing competition, companies flushed with cash are looking for new investment opportunities. This retains strong merger and acquisition activities while making headlines in China. The magnitude of change inherent in M&A transactions can result in the loss of key employees or skill sets and affect the ultimate success of that deal.
For cross-border transactions, these challenges can become even more intense with cultural differences leading to declines in engagement and productivity. Join Michael Zhang, Managing Director China at Dover Corporation, Hsuan Chen, Executive Director of Operational Transaction Services at EY in Shanghai, and Helen Hu, CFO Asia for International Paper, as they discuss the opportunities and challenges for companies dealing with these post-merger integration issues.
Key areas to be covered during this program include:
- The divestment of holdings in China and Asia and the challenge for buyers in terms of post-merger integration processes
- Operational integration challenges in China, including within HR, Supply Chain, IT and beyond from a strategic perspective
- An in-house manufacturing perspective as regards the increasing amount of M&A activity in the production sector
