Recently, Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) have become increasingly popular in the last few decades, and overseas' M&A are particularly increasing to sharpen corporate competitiveness on a global scale. Previous studies showed that one of the main reasons attributes to failures of mergers was the lack of attention to merging information systems. In recent years, both academy and industry have more focused on Post-Merger Integration (PMI) and the integration of information systems (IS) between two companies is one of the critical success factors of corporate. This paper focused on Post-Merger IT (Information Technology) Integration Methodology of Cross-Border M&A. We followed a single-site qualitative case study method in order to investigate the type of phenomenon in M&A's natural setting. Moreover, we examined a typical energy and power company case in order-based industry, so that other industry players may have different results to determine post-merger IT integration method and scope.

M&A (Merger and Acquisitions) is a standard corporate strategy frequently used by companies seeking to secure new growth engines and gain a solid foothold in their markets in order to become more globally competitive. To achieve the original goals of M&A, the two involved parties need to invest significant time and resources in integrating all aspects of the companies. A well-planned post-merger integration of information technology (IT PMI) by the two M&A parties is considered a crucial and difficult process because IT provides a fundamental infrastructure for integration. Considering various internal and external factors, the two parties normally formulate an IT PMI strategy. The many IT PMI strategies can be categorized into four major types: Renewal, Takeover, Standardization, and Synchronization. This study aims to develop a decision making model to help merger company and IT managers select the proper IT PMI strategy. More specifically, we identify key determinants that need to be considered when selecting a proper IT PMI strategy. The relative importance of each determinant is defined by analytic hierarchy process (AHP) analysis. Finally, this study evaluates each IT integration strategy under the identified determinants.

수 많은 기업들이 기업 성장 및 생존 전략의 일환으로 인수 합병 (M&A, merger and acquisition)을 선택하고 있다. 그러나 상당수의 기업들이 본래 의도했던 시너지 효과를 창출하지 못하고 인수 합병 실패로 인해 생산성 저하, 시장 점유율 하락, 수익 감소, 유능한 직원의 이직 등 많은 부작용을 경험하고 있다. 이에 따라 인수 합병 성공 및 실패 원인을 분석하고자 하는 많은 연구가 진행되었고, 정보시스템에 대한 기업들의 의존도 증가와 더불어 인수 합병 이후 정보시스템 통합(post-M&A information systems integration)이 인수 합병 성공에 결정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 그러나 인수 합병 이후 정보시스템 통합 성공에 대한 연구가 매우 부족하며, 대부분의 선행연구가 정보시스템 조직 통합 또는 물리적인 정보시스템의 통합 등과 같이 단편적으로 이루어져 왔다. 본 연구에서는 인수 합병 이후 정보시스템 통합 성공에 영향을 미치는 요인들에 대한 포괄적인 연구를 위하여 정보시스템뿐만 아니라 전략 경영, 경제학, 재무학, 인사관리, 조직관리 분야의 선행연구를 조사하였다 이를 기반으로 인수 합병 이후 정보시스템 통합 영향요인에 대한 통합 모델을 제시하였다. 제시된 모형에서는 영향요인들을 인수 합병 관점, 전략 관점, 조직 관점, 인사관리 관점, 정보시스템 관점으로 재 분류하고, 사례연구를 통하여 각 요인들이 정보시스템 통합 성공에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 검증하였다.

The purpose of this study lies in examining how knowledge management was applied to PMI(Post Merger Integration) in bank merger. Individuals and organizations in Korea have experienced a lot of changes since the 1997 foreign exchange crisis. In such a situation, individuals came to think the only thing to rely on was personal knowledge. Since organizations had to lay off workers in order of their birth year, not based on whether or not individuals had the knowledge necessary for the organizations, they needed to have such a system that could use their explicit knowledge and even outside knowledge or customers' knowledge as IT developed by changing individuals' tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge as needed in order to continue to maintain their competitiveness and for their own development. Thus, each firm started to pitch for the introduction of knowledge management. Individuals started to store their own experience and knowledge in their homepages or blogs. It was Woori Bank, the merged bank of Hanil Bank and Commercial Bank of Korea, that introduced the knowledge management system and Shared Service Center, in which knowledge creation is available, for the first time in the banking business. Its previous name was Hanbit Bank. Hanbit Bank wanted to construct an advanced bank system, bringing in their chief information officer(CIO) from a foreign bank and introducing an IT software used in Spanish banks to adjust all banking processes to it. However, they could not help giving up the plan in the middle of the road since there was a great difference between Spain and Korea in the financial system and more than 30% of software package had to be changed. In this situation, PMI was delayed, and customer inconvenience continued, which made the integration of organizational cultures slow down. As a breakthrough in this situation, knowledge management was introduced. To integrate knowledge of two organizations in the process of PMI is an important job for all merger candidates. This study aims at presenting the successful results from using knowledge management as a means to PMI ahead of other financial institutions so they can apply them to their organizations. PMI was not achieved properly after the two banks had been merged as Hanbit, but entering the era of Woori Bank, workers were integrated under one standard organization following the organizational and knowledge integration, and knowledge management was introduced for an efficient sharing of knowledge among members. A great number of mergers have occurred up to now, but Woori Bank is the first case that used knowledge management as a means to both PMI and competitiveness enhancement. Probably it was an appropriate time when Woori Bank introduced knowledge management as it was organized. Since Hanil Bank and Commercial Bank of Korea had not introduced knowledge management until then, it could use knowledge management as a means to PMI. Using knowledge management, it could create a new organizational culture and increase competitiveness in the banking industry.

M&A 과정, 특히 인수 후 통합에 관한 기존의 연구는 내부 조직의 통합에 중점을 두어 왔는데, 본 연구는 백화점 간의 인수합병 과정에서 브랜드 네임 및 회원 제도의 통합 사례에 대한 분석을 통해 양사의 브랜드와 고객의 통합 과정이 어떻게 이루어지며, 그 과정에서 무엇이 중요한지를 보고자 하였다. 본 연구는 유통학문의 연구방법론 중 규범적 연구방법론이나 경험적 분석기법에 적용되는 사례연구의 접근법을 적용하여, 인수합병을 통해 두 회사의 브랜드 네임과 회원 제도를 통합한 기업을 선정하여 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 인수합병 과정의 브랜드와 고객 측면의 통합을 위해서는 양사의 브랜드 및 고객 관리 현황에 대한 이해를 바탕으로 주요 통합 영역을 설정하여 고객과 기업의 양쪽 측면에서 의사결정을 고려해야 한다는 것, 통합의 목표를 단기적인 사업 효율성 추구가 아니라 장기적인 브랜드 파워와 구체적인 시너지 등으로 추구해야 한다는 것, 브랜드의 통합과 회원 제도의 통합은 사업 전략과 마케팅 프로그램 등의 변화를 유발하기 때문에 구체적인 후속 프로그램이 필요하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구는 단일 기업을 대상으로 한 서술식 사례 연구라는 한계가 있어, 향후에는 복수 기업들의 비교분석적 연구나 브랜드 및 고객 통합 관련 이론들을 체계적인 분석의 틀로 이용하는 연구 등이 필요할 것이다.

In the merged organization, the efforts of integration such as various PMI activities, etc. are exerted and the performance of PMI can be judged by evaluating the effectiveness of an organization. In this paper, the empirical analysis was conducted to see what effects of 'planned PMI activities' and 'voluntary integration efforts' have on the effectiveness of an organization which is 'Organizational Commitment', 'Job Satisfaction', 'Emotional Integration' and 'Shared Value Recognition'. The survey was made on the employees of LH, which is a representative case of public corporation advancement, and SPSS 17.0 and AMOS 17 were used for the analysis. As a result of the analysis of a structural equation model, it indicated that both 'planned PMI activities' and 'voluntary integration efforts' have direct influence on 4 indices of effectiveness of an organization respectively. In particular, it was found that 'planned PMI activities' affects 'Shared Value Recognition' the most and 'voluntary integration efforts' has the largest effect on 'Emotional Integration'. Through this study, it was verified that voluntary integration efforts of members as well as the planed formal PMI activities are also very important factor of effect on the integration performance of an organization.

M&A 과정을 크게 둘로 구분하다면 하나는 M&A 계약 자체의 성사에 이르는 '딜메이킹(Deal Making)' 과정과 다른 하나는 'PMI(Post-Merger Integration)', 즉 인수 후 통합과정이다. 많은 기업들이 성공적인 M&A를 위해 기업가치평가, 실사, 계약서 등에 명시돼야 할 권리 및 의무관계, 인수가격 결정을 위한 협상 등에 온 힘을 기울이게 된다. 하니만 인수 합병을 단행한다고 해서 모든 기업이 주주가치 창출이나 경쟁력 향상과 같은 시너지 효과를 누리지는 못한다. 인수 합병 후에 일어나는 통합의 문제는 그 복잡합이나 조직에 미치는 영향력에 있어 더 많은 주의와 노력을 요한다.
