#2 Semantic diplomacy

Abhay Pande and David Boyd from the collective behind The Agile Gorilla, talk to us about how integration is more or less relevant in M&A depending on the type of deal. There’s a type of deal where Abhay likes to call integration ‘semantic diplomacy’… you just want the assets not the people, and the acquirer uses the semantics of integration to be diplomatic to the people no longer needed.
