I think that any kind of relationship is difficult to deal with. Mergers are not different. People have different interests, goals and ideas. But I do believe in a successful merger when the partners are very connected and have similar projects.
ResponderExcluirMy option is that to have any kind of relationship is necessary to be exactly the same aims. I know a lot of examples that the relationship failed because one or both partners are not patient, flexible although to speak initially in a common intention. I agree with Kátia when she spoke that merges and marrieges is very seemly. The unique difference it is that the first is according through the law.
