“…The second group focuses more specifically on the coexistence of antagonistic logics, such as a developmental logic versus a financial logic (Battilana & Dorado, ; Battilana, Singul, Pache, & Model, ) or a market‐oriented logic versus a human development‐oriented logic (Haigh, Walker, Back, & Kickul, ; Pache & Santos, ). The third group addresses hybrid management practices, emphasizing leadership (Bolden & Kirk, ; Kakar, Kakar, Kets de Vries, & Vrignaud, ) and functional practices, such as human resources (Newenham‐Kahindi, ) and strategic (Moraes & Zilber, ) and operations management practices (Feyzioglu & Pierreval, ). The fourth group specifically addresses the cultural hybridization that occurs as a result of M&A.…”

There is no shortage of theoretical or empirical research on mergers and acquisitions (M&A).Knowledge on the subject has grown substantially in recent decades. However, the integration of firms involved in M&A remains a challenging and often unsuccessful process. In addition, there is a scarcity of research on temporal dynamics within integration projects. This article reports on the postacquisition integration of a business school into a university using the concept of organizational hybridization as a theoretical lens. The aim was to identify the microdynamics that occurred during integration. We conducted an inductive case study, interviewing professionals involved in the integration process, analyzing a wide range of documents, and conducting participant observation over 6 years. Field research revealed that different organizational components underwent distinct hybridization processes that were characterized by different degrees of conflict. This study contributes to the understanding of the microdynamics that occur in postmerger or postacquisition integration processes, focusing on the complex adjustments inherent in these developments.

“…Relevant literature may be classified into four categories. These are similarity coefficients based methods [13,32,38,41], mathematical programming techniques [2,4,6,12,21,33,36,42], heuristic methods [14,18,24,28,37,40], and genetic algorithms based methods [10,43].…”

The concept of group technology (GT) in design of manufacturing systems is explained. Achieving the highly appreciated benefits of applying GT mainly depends on proper design of manufacturing cells within a manufacturing system. As the ideal design of manufacturing cells is practically unattainable, research work aims at optimizing this process within a number of objectives. This paper categorizes and briefly introduces some of the previously published research work. Then, a proposed approach for design of manufacturing cells is introduced with the objective of minimizing the number of exceptional elements, needing processing in more than one cell, thus reducing the material handling needs between cells which reduces efficiency and increases costs. The mathematical model for this approach, based on the 0-1 incidence matrix of parts/machines, is explained. Five performance measures for the approaches of design of cells are applied to the proposed approach. Twelve previously published bench mark problems with eighty eight different solutions, based upon different approaches from literature, were used in the comparison and evaluation of the performance of the proposed approach/ model. The result of comparison indicated that the proposed approach gave better solutions in forty nine percent of the cases, with equal performance in the remaining cases. Thus, the proposed approach is a highly valued addition to the available approaches.
