A strong culture actually survives without the parent company having to do much about it. We can be under the same HR and information systems, follow the same operational procedures and best practices of the parent company, but still maintain a local identity. Of course, this depends on whether the acquiring company has a toxic culture itself, and they actively work to destroy that. This is why one of the most important aspects of due diligence is a cultural assessment and determine the cultural fit of a company before the purchase is closed.
