In a review on how to avoid culture clash in mergers and acquisitions, Daniel Domberger, provided his thoughts on how culture is an important factor in doing a successful deal. Daniel believes cultural fit should be a crucial consideration of any transaction, as well as the usual financial and legal due diligence.

“Culture is consistently a very important factor in doing a deal and making it successful because people are people, and culture is simply an expression of those people within an organisation,” he says. “It's often viewed as 'putting beanbags in the office', but there's a clear distinction between perks and culture, which is more about how people interact and get on.”
