N2 - In times of fiscal retrenchment, it is often necessary for two or more public organizations to merge. Not surprisingly, this need is not often met favorably by the organizations involved. This paper discusses reasons why such a response might not be unreasonable if one objectively views the pressures acting upon the organization, as well as strategies which representatives of society could use to make merger a more desirable option for the public organization. It is generally suggested herein that the best actions include rather subtle efforts on the part of society and the targeting of smaller, less prestigious public organizations.
