Culture, change and communication play a key role in PMI. Culture and communication can be linked together in many ways, what are the biggest cultural risks in cross-border mergers? How can communication be used to help mitigate cultural risks? Often, I believe it can be management styles which can cause frustration & power struggles and the mentality of “US versus Them” employees’ resistance of collaboration or sharing of knowledge. I believe communication can help mitigate this greatly and leadership to show the way of a new culture to strengthen the company.
