The proposed change program aims at addressing the organizational problems which emerged as a result of the 2000 merger between the world’s biggest online service provider (AOL) and one of the world’s biggest media companies (Time Warner) and involves the creation of a new, post-merger organizational culture. It is argued that one of the main reasons behind the widely perceived failure of the AOL Time Warner merger has been the clash of the two very different organizational cultures. Describes the post-merger situation, defines the problem and articulates the proposed change, along with a justification for the proposal. Potential alternative change proposals are briefly discussed. The concluding sections presents a plan for implementing and managing the proposed cultural change program. Areas of potential resistance to change are identified and ways to handle this resistance considered. Keywords: aol time warner mergers organizational culture change management resistance employee morale.
