The field of Crisis management has gained utmost importance since the day of its evolution. In this era of mergers and acquisitions, crisis management can aid the business to be proactive in effectively analyzing and overcoming the potential organizational crises. KPIs can be used to encounter multitudinous issues that an organization can face in the event of mergers and acquisitions.

These KPIs are basically quantified under 4 major heads- financial perspective, human resource issues, operations and partner compatibility.

Financial perspective consists of KPIs like independent sources of funds, percentage share exchanged, operational savings and tax considerations. Through this perspective the financial overview of the merger and acquisition can be taken.

Human resources issues are the employee related measures taken by the business to avoid crisis in the future. This perspective may include cross cultural training, clearly defined goals, operational and technical training sessions and percentage job loss.

Operations perspective means the issues related to business operations to be tackled effectively by the management. It takes into consideration product continuation, product restructuring, integrated activities and percentage increase in market share.

Partner compatibility talks about the different compatibilities of the businesses that must match for the success of merger and acquisition. This perspective takes into account KPIs like goals compatibility, proposed time duration, number of compliance required and pay-back period.
