Organizational structure

In today's fast-paced world, change seems inevitable. Organizations come and go, and are bought and sold at a rapid pace. Organizations like Amazon, Walmart, AT&T, Microsoft, and Disney buy and sell smaller organizations on a regular basis. Most of these changes are based on the intent to develop a more efficient and linked organization. But, as these changes occur, one common issue is the difficulty of bringing these organizational structures together. A great example of this is in the airline industry: the mergers of United-Continental, American-U.S. Airways, Delta-Northwest, and Southwest-Air Tran have all resulted in a variety of challenges in merging their dissimilar structures.
