Read the Northrop Grumman Case study and respond to the following questions:
- What is the most important lesson(s) that NGC thinks it has learned about evaluating and integrating acquisitions well from an HR perspective?
- How successful is NGC, really, at managing MAs? How do you measure success?
- NGC has moved to the use of a “virtual data room,” which means that MA team
members no longer have to meet physically. Explain the pros and cons of this
innovation. Should NGC continue in this vein? - What recommendations would you make to NGC’s HR manager to make to improve the integration of employees of newly acquired organizations into the NGC culture?
