  • Summary

  • Is your company affected by an American takeover? Do you have many questions and feel uncertain about what lies ahead of you and your company? Then you've come to the right place. I’ve been in your shoes once! Years ago, I was personally affected by a takeover. Shortly after signing a contract with a mid-sized company, I received the news that the company was being taken over by an American corporation. Along with the uncertainty came many changes, such as accounting practices, financial reporting, and how to interact with Americans. Today, I know that this moment of uncertainty was a pivotal point in my life. It marked the beginning of my journey to becoming an expert in everything that follows a takeover by an American company. With this knowledge, I can now help others who feel left out in the rain during this period of change in my function as interim manager. I build bridges between the two corporate cultures. This podcast is designed to pass on my best tips and tricks to help you navigate. I will explain what is important after a takeover, the typical pitfalls to avoid, and how to make the most of this opportunity for yourself. And I am sure this is also interesting for you if your company is planning to take over a company in a German-speaking region.

    After an U.S. takeover, many changes occur, even if the opposite is often claimed. Judith has frequently discussed this. However, such changes, coupled with inadequate communication from management, are a perfect breeding ground for rumors. Today, in chapter 4 of the "Blueprint of a Takeover", we will focus on addressing this "rumor mill". You want to know more about the book?

    In chapter 3 of "Blueprint of a Takeover," the focus is on preparing for changes and addressing the biggest hurdles following a takeover. Judith warns against underestimating the challenges and emphasizes the importance of clear communication that changes are inevitable. Comparing company takeovers to marriages highlights that expecting the acquiring company to completely replace the acquired company's culture can be problematic. Judith provides advice on how to prepare for different forms of interaction and successfully navigate the changes. You want to know more about the book?
