The company has also made some bad investments and is in financial trouble. Your boss has called you in to tell you that they plan on buying out this firm and integrating their business, and he needs you to develop the internal executive proposal that outlines a plan for integrating the smaller company into your current company's current organizational model. Your job is to come up with a two page organizational plan to create a smooth merger of the two companies. From start to finish, develop a proposal 'for internal use only' that explains how the company should proceed. Your boss tells you that the main goal of your proposal is to minimize behavioral resistance to change at both companies, to include clients, leadership, and subordinates.
