In 2009, Comcast Cable announced it was buying NBC/Universal to combine its own cable delivery business with NBC’s content. Many thought the acquisition was ill conceived, in part because the “content” employees’ culture might differ from that of the cable employees’ culture. Some of the concerns are illustrated at http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2010/02/congress-told-that-comcastnbc-merger-a-big-crapshoot.ars.

How different are the two companies’ cultures and how would you as CEO overcome those differences? Many of the differences with the cultures lie with the different strategies of the two companies. You can find some of these differences to help explain the cultural clashes that could occur. The CEO plays a critical role in merging the two cultures and ensuring the workers are productive moving forward. It would be helpful for the CEO to engage a consulting firm with merger expertise. Emphasis should be on HR practices such as retention strategies and compensation systems. The CEO must also have a clear communication strategy related to the merger.
