Exxon Mobil Corporation is a global gas and oil company that meet the world’s increasing energy needs through innovation and technology. In particular, it is the leading energy company that integrates chemical manufacturers, marketers of petroleum products, and oil refiners. Exxon Mobil Company produces around 2% of the energy used in the globe and 3% of petroleum products. The firm is committed to improving the accessibility of energy, efficiency, sustainability, mitigating emissions, creating jobs, and community outreach (ExxonMobil, n.d.). For this reason, Exxon Mobil Corporation fosters the provision of sustainable and affordable energy, which is required to foster global prosperity and economic development.
The fictitious domestic company that has merged with Exxon Mobil Corporation is called The Energizer Lighting Company (ELC). In particular, ELC generates energy in different parts of the country by ensuring that all people are connected to the power grid. In most cases, ELC connects electricity to various rural areas with the primary objective of lighting the entire country. Moreover, the company ensures that people get the energy they need so that they can be productive in different economic sectors. Consequently, the merging of these two companies makes it easy for energy and lighting distribution, both locally and internationally, to facilitate global economic growth and development.
When two companies have merged, it means that they become one firm that focuses on meeting different objectives based on the industries they operated before the merger.

The second most significant thing in unifying the organizational culture of Exxon Mobil Corporation and ELC is through effective communication to all employees. Specifically, workers should be informed about the merger and allowed to ask questions about the new objectives of the newly formed company (Bowen, 2018). The new management should be transparent to ensure that employees understand what they are entitled to do. That way, all workers will collaborate to ensure that the merger succeeds since they will all feel as being part of a large company. The rationale for selecting this step is to facilitate togetherness and focus on meeting the set objectives.
The other most significant thing is to restructure the leadership of both companies by coming up with new departments where leaders from both firms are highly recognized. For instance, department heads should create an integration timeline to demonstrate the involvement of leaders from the two companies that have merged. The rationale for choosing this step is to ensure that all leaders feel comfortable with the merger and that they develop a se...
