The case presents an assessment of the primary facts related to the amalgamation procedure suffered by three businesses, Bancolombia, Conavi and Corfinsura, in the Colombian financial market throughout 2005 and 2006. The amalgamation decision materializes from directors and senior executives visualizing an incoming critical market transformation - adjustment in industry regulation, development of main players in consolidation and international competence - and their additional reaction as a way to adjust to the brand new economic conditions.
Taking into account the fact that the success rate of amalgamation processes is not above 30 per cent, the sustained financial results achieved by Bancolombia from the very start of the integration procedure are robust indicators that ask exploration into what was done and how it was done.
