Abstract
This is the second of a two-case series (IMD-3-1088 and IMD-3-1089). The (B) case looks at events after the ''black box'' issues were negotiated. Sir Tom McKillop, CEO-designate, pondered how he would conduct the merger itself and drew up a set of ''merger principles''. He planned to invite the top 20 senior managers from each of the companies to a meeting before the merger was announced to present the vision and synergies for the new company. A video ''IMD-3-1088-V'' is available to accompany the case series.
