Sunrise Foods Ltd acquired Kaveri Snacks Pvt Ltd. Six months later, the integration manager notes that employees of both firms still follow different reporting practices and values, causing friction and slow decisions. Which integration area is mainly being neglected?

The neglected area is cultural integration. Friction from differing values, reporting practices and decision styles after an acquisition shows the two workforces have not been aligned. Financial, valuation and approval matters belong to other stages and do not resolve these people-related problems.

Explanation

Differences in values, work practices and decision styles are cultural issues. Cultural integration aims to align them after the deal. Valuation, capital structure and Tribunal approval are pre-closing or financial matters and do not address employee behaviour friction.
