Change in Organizational Culture: The Use of Linguistic Methods in Corporate Acquisition.
Bastien, David T.
Management Communication Quarterly, v5 n4 p403-42 May 1992
Explores the links between social identity, language use, and retention in organizational mergers and acquisitions. Finds that (1) change in culture does not happen gradually across the whole organization, but either quickly or not at all; (2) change happens by subgroups; and (3) conflict in mergers and acquisitions was between individuals rather than organizations.
