Module 6: Discussion Forum

Briefly explain the role the international human resources function played in the pre-work phase, due diligence phase, merger phase, and post-merger phase of the two companies, Marel and Stork, detailed in Chapter 8 (Edvardsson & Danielsdottir, 2012). Then create a “best practices” human resources tip for each of these phases that demonstrates a key factor or perspective that human resources must take into consideration when seeking to successfully bring together two vastly different companies.
