In the media before the merger, it was presented as a strategic move toward creating a competitive and international media group. However, all the original strategic visions were not realized as planned in the merger\u2019s outcomes. This research investigates how the publicly presented vision of the merger\u2019s strategy was made sense of by the key stakeholders and whether the strategic vision remained a reference point in later interpretations when the key stakeholders reconstructed its meaning over time. \nThis qualitative research draws on data from Finnish media & newspapers and from 12 interviews with top- and middle management from the companies involved in the merger. Guided by the Gioia methodology within a grounded theory framework, the analysis identifies sensemaking strategies that stakeholders used to bridge the gap between the originally presented vision and the occurred outcomes. \nFindings show that the key stakeholders engaged in sensemaking strategies such as sensegiving, sensebreaking, sensehiding and sense specification to align their narratives with how the merger unfolded. The public narrative of the merger remained to exist and influenced the retrospective interpretations and conversations over 20 years after the merger. \nThis research contributes to understanding the dynamic and temporal nature of sensemaking and sensegiving in organizational change. It highlights how public narratives in mergers can continue to shape stakeholder interpretations over time and give insights that are relevant to the field of interpretive organizational research.", "language": "en", "element": "description", "qualifier": "abstract", "schema": "dc"}, {"key": "dc.description.abstract", "value": "T\u00e4m\u00e4 pro gradu- tutkimus tarkastelee, kuinka keskeiset sidosryhm\u00e4t rakensivat merkityst\u00e4, retrospektiivisesti Sanoman ja WSOY:n v\u00e4lisen 1999 vuoden yritysfuusion, julkisuudessa esitetyst\u00e4 strategisesta visiosta.
