Abstract
Using a narrative approach, this study analyzes interpretations of organizational identity that emerged among members of autonomous groups brought together as a result of a double acquisition. Comparative analysis of a first set of interviews indicates divergent narratives emerged in two divisions established after the acquisition. Members' meaning construction related to organizational identity focused on such alternative themes as identity enhancement or threat, identity stability or ambiguity, and identity continuity or discontinuity. Differences in interpretations were influenced by the (a) social context that included such elements as encounters with other groups, integration and segregation tactics employed, and level of communication and control from higher level management and (b) temporal context evoked by members as they juxtaposed the past, present, and future identity. Interviews conducted 1 year later indicated changes in the contextual elements and a convergence in the groups' narratives. Implications for the management of acquisitions are presented.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
