Transfer of knowledge in mergers and takeovers

It seems that transfer of knowledge has already been widely described, but last year mergers and takeovers (e.g. Polish banks Pekao S.A. and BPH, Orlen and Rafineria Możejki, Deloitte and Andersen Business Consulting) make it again a hot topic. It is worth to think again about the role of knowledge in organization and possibilities of managing it. The aim of the article is to show connections between transfer of knowledge and transactions of mergers and takeovers, presenting main factors which determine the model of such transfer and the process itself.
