Abstract
The ability to select and retain the desired key professionals is one of the central challenges of the merger process. The difficulty of blending speed with fairness and meritocracy in the selection process, the frustrations of top executives facing uncertainty and jockeying for positions in the merger, and the need to satisfy multiple constituencies in job selection all militate against a successful outcome.
