Acquisition Integration
Integrating acquisitions could distract a company from other important tasks within the firm. Expenses related to integrating back office IT systems and different corporate cultures could lead to further issues that hurt the firm over the long term. Also, problems of redundant staff and hierarchy within the new combined firm are not motivating factors for employees.

Acquisitions could cause integration problems, dilution of equity value and inconsistent growth estimates. - (edit / improve)
