Yes, I agree that open communication is necessary, and would push to go one step further. Being on the receiving end of two acquisitions, I found in both instances that the acquiring company was willing and transparent with their plans. Unfortunately, they had yet to earn the trust of our broader organization and their words fell on deaf ears. I recommend walking the acquired company through your past acquisitions as well as the results achieved which would help to build that trust.
