When companies merge, it shakes up the systems of both companies, challenging the old, established paradigms and pouring in new information. Sometimes the new reality feels like a deluge, with the water lapping at your chin. To make the transition successfully, you’ll need a high PQ. Did you ever switch to a different school when you were growing up? If you did, you know the anxiety and conflicted feelings people have about developing new partnerships. New partnerships, like new schools, mean new challenges and opportunities, but they also mean conflict.

Conflict is a good thing once you learn to harness the energy it creates. Human beings have only so much energy. If we fritter it away in unproductive conflicts, there’s less available to solve problems or be creative. But if we’re able to use our energy productively, we can direct it in a way that moves us forward. Conflict presents partners with opportunities to explore the deeply held values they bring to the partnership.

It helps them understand each other’s position better and forces them to use their communication and feedback skills. It helps establish trust. Sometimes the biggest challenges, perhaps, are the partnerships we do not initiate. Sometimes we are forced into partnerships because of the work we do and because today’s world is changing so fast. Our bosses, customers, employees, regulators, and even our competitors are changing every day. In the age of instant information, change is the only constant.

Decision-makers should be able to recognise when competition may arise or when it is gathering pace. Competition can intensify in several circumstances:

When a market is expanding or new, as with computers and software over the past 20 years or with the mobile telecommunications industry during the past ten years.

When the stakes are high and there are big profits (or losses) to be made, notably when there are few organisations in a large market as, for example, with Coca-Cola.

When a market is about to change, perhaps as a result of developments affecting patents and intellectual property rights (for example, when the patent for a drug expires), or political or legal developments, such as privatisation.

When a market is shrinking, especially when there is overcapacity in an industry (usually one that is mature), with firms chasing fewer and fewer customers. This is apparent in a number of long-established manufacturing industries such as ship-building, steel-making and car production.
