British
Steel-Dutch Royal Hoogovens Merger: An Anglo-Dutch Marriage

John Bryant
Chief Executive Officer, Corus, 1999.
“Without
creating a workable model for decision-making during the merger,
Corus was papering over the cracks. The Corus management was
much too narrow in its mandate of what constitutes cultural
differences. I am not convinced that they fully thought through
the implications of allowing the different cultural norms
to exist.”
