Abstract :
This paper focuses on challenges faced in bringing two semiconductor companies under merger to a common technological platform and strategic solutions implemented to make the merger successful. A case study approach is followed to review and analyze the results. From the study, a 15% reduction was observed in the product development cycle. These savings were mainly due to efficient implementation of strategies to bring both the teams in common technology platform. From this paper one can understand better in the context of semiconductor industry the concepts of technology management its impact on product schedules & financials. The strategic solutions & benefits indicated here will help organizations just after merger, to take appropriate actions in technology management. This paper will assist future researchers to explore more ideas as there is limited research & literature available on this topic.
