emerging situation.
Confliction of values and theoretical analysis
Organizational values have strong impact in case of driving the operational practices in an
organization (Schaltegger & Burritt, 2017). In the case study, it has been identified that in case of

management gets influenced. By developing the interrelationship between the theoretical
perspectives management and conflicting values, it can be said that it can play an effective role
for managing the integrated merger and acquisition challenges in the company. In order to
analyze the conflicting values between these two organizations, the acculturation and social
identity theoretical implication can be beneficial.

4CONTEMPORARY MANAGEMENT
contemporary business environment is now in the challenging situation. On the other hand, due

the important concerns. Application of scientific theory can be able to develop the
interconnections between scientific knowledge of control and the situational causes. In order to
improve the productivity of people, human relations theory can play an effective role in case of
improving the organizational beliefs as well as desire of individuals. In case of implementing the
merging strategy between BioHealth Labs and DeWaal Pharmaceuticals, the implementation of
Human relations theory can help to drive the positive internal culture in the organization.
In order to describe the first cultured learning process, the acculturation theory helps to manage
the cultural learning processes in the workplace (Pedersen & Thibault, 2018). Under the normal
circumstances, the acculturation theory ensures the participation of society towards considering
the balance between environmental and society. Analyzing the case study, it has been identified
that due to the diversified organizational culture as well as acculturative stress, conflicts among
the employees impacts negatively on the internal culture of DeWaal BioHealth. Due to such
issues, maintaining the core corporate values become challenging for the company.
Based on the administrative management theory, the administrative structure as well as
delegation of power can be distributed properly. Through the implications of this theory, the joint
operations of both the companies can be managed in an effective manner. In order to drive the
self-concepts of individuals, the social identity theory plays an influential role (Van Diepen et
al., 2018). By highlighting the interrelationship between the perceived membership and the

5CONTEMPORARY MANAGEMENT
identity, the implications of social identity theory can get influenced. Due to the merging
between the two organizations such as BioHealth Labs and DeWaal Pharmaceuticals, it has
become concerning situation for the company for adopting the old organizational identity, which
is important for developing strong image on customers’ mind. In the social identity theory, it has
been mentioned that the leadership practices in the workplace has got influenced based on the
M&A process adopted by the company.

activities, it can be said that organizational structure plays an influential role for driving the
performance management process in the company. Based on the staffing as well as top
management stuffing, appraisal process has been approved by the leaders of the company. The
top level executives of both the companies have provided major contribution towards approving
the official appraisal strategies so that the individuals’ performance abilities can be measured. By
continuing this, it can also be said that due the purpose of introducing integrated process in the
workplace is to analyze the competency of the employees so that the bench marketing as well as
fair work policies can be ensured. On the other hand, in this case, evaluating the performance of
the participants, the top level executive in DeWaal BioHealth takes the help from external
consultants. In the integral process, based on the details of integration, the management structure
in DeWaal BioHealth can be analyzed. It is true that based on the analysis it has been identified
that in the M&A process, the large scale changes in the organization can play an important role
for increasing the stress as well as anxiety among the employees. In some of the cases, the top

6CONTEMPORARY MANAGEMENT
level executive in the management also faces the various challenges, which makes the business
situations horrible for the person.
In the M&A integration process, it has been identified that the in case of criticizing the
management practices the anxiety theory can be used. In the M & A integration process, the
large scale organizational challenges are being analyzed. On the other hand, it is true that in case
of dealing with the emerging challenges in the workplace the top level executives also faces
several challenges that can drive the negative impact on the workplace culture. Due to increasing
amount of anxiety among the top level management employees, it becomes challenging for the
employees for managing the prestige as well as quality standard in the organizational
performance. It can be said that the decision which have been made by the two leaders regarding
the involvement of external consultants for conducting the appraisal operations can bring the
adverse impact on the organizational performance. Nepoclassical economics is being considered
as the approach that helps to maintain the uninterrupted supply and demand in an organization.
In order to merge between BioHealth Labs and DeWaal Pharmaceuticals, the implication of
Nepoclassical theory can help to highlight the mathematical equations so that the rate of
profitability can be properly assumed. On the other hand, in case of system theory, is being
considered as the interdisciplinary theory that helps to deal with the complex situation of the
nature. With the effective implication of the theory, cooperative culture as well as team
management can be ensured in the workplace. The contingency theory helps to claim the best
way for organizing the operational activities in the workplace. This theoretical implication in
DeWaal BioHealth can ensure positive engagement as well as effective productivity.

role for ensuring the high propensity of cultural clash. The cultural clash has strong impact in
case of acculturating the stress in the workplace. On the other hand, it is true that highlighting
different cultural perspectives in both the organization, the acculturation theory can improve the
merging culture in the workplace.
In case of M&A integration process it is important for the organization to contribute towards
reducing the acculturative stress. Based on the reflection of the theory in the organizational
process it can be assumed that the company needs to focus on analyzing both the good as well as
bad performances. On the other hand, it is also important for fostering the multiculturalism in the
workplace so that employees can be able to cope up with the diversified organizational culture.
Depending on the diligence of human nature, the cultural effectiveness can be ensured in the
workplace. Therefore, it can be said that structure of top management as well as M&A
integration process can be beneficial in terms of ensuring the positive environmental in the
workplace. Some of the cases, low morale as well as lack of understanding regarding the
company values can create the negative impact on the company performance. On the other hand,
it is true that based on the current analysis it can be easier for the company to reduce the
employee turnover as well as cultural clash that can play an effective role for introducing the
strong corporate values in the company. In case of M&A integration process, the adoption on
cultural diligence not only the multiculturalism can be introduced but also in both the
organizations employee cooperation can be increased.
