Human resources are an integral part of an organization. An organization cannot survive without human resource policies and procedures. "Human resource activities in a company must directly support business strategy - and the satisfaction of customer needs" (Walker, 2002, p.59). For most companies that enter a global market, human resources play a huge role in the companies' success by updating policies to accommodate the new cultures. It is becoming more difficult in today's global environment to be competitive without growing and expanding rapidly through deals that result in mergers or acquisitions. This is the reason that when mergers and acquisitions occur, the human resource department has to rapidly realign the company's structure and policies to accommodate, reflect and uphold the organizational strategy of the newly merged company. "It is not enough for the human resource function to be responsive to management, "customer-oriented", or even aligned as partners with management. The function is an integral part of management - leading and implementing needed change" (Walker, 2002, p.59). Human resource management should take into account not only the organizational strategies but also the cultural differences, take advantage of recruiting and selection alternatives, evaluate current training and development programs, and conduct a gap analysis of employee skills and corporate needs.
