Some problems of managing acquisitions in a time of change are analyzed here. The concept of preparing for change is described as the most potent, often most difficult and least considered prophylaxis against decay of staff morale. The author considers some of the pros and cons of an integrated system from an acquisitions viewpoint as experienced in a major transition at New York University, then describes some of the variety of problems encountered and how they were resolved.
