Just as with leaving the new acquisition alone post-close, integrating fully into your own business is also a common approach. Doing so is often seen as the easiest, best and possibly only way to achieve your acquisition goals: full integration equals full benefits, correct? If only it were that simple; in fact, in many cases a full integration is the best way to destroy value, especially in small acquisitions where as the saying goes, ‘the gorilla smothers the kitten’.
