Mansfield, who had been identified as key success factor for the continued high operational performance of the newly acquired company within the Synergon Capital group, is alienated and offended by the way the integration process is handled by Synergon. His counterpart at Synergon, Nick Cunningham, needs to figure out how to manage the integration of the two companies in a way that keeps vital resources on board and preserves the value-defining characteristics of Beauchamp in the process of integration. This paper analyses the main issues and underlying problems that jeopardize the successful integration and provides alternatives that might help the protagonist of the case study turn the situation around. %K Case Study, Fallstudie, Change Management, Case Study Analysis %G English
