Explaining the Importance of Innovation and Announcing Acquisition and Merger

You know that managers and employees are often fearful of change and so, you realize the importance and significance of this first announcement. Relying upon the course material for this week, you will be preparing an e-mail (writing three paragraphs) to send to him as outlined below: You've decided that Jonas must first explain the reason for the acquisition and merger. As you know, the decision was made after the executives acknowledged the importance of innovation. So now, Jonas needs to explain this concept (innovation) to the mid-level managers and employees.

Using this first part of your e-mail, you will write the "script" that Jonas will use to (1) explain the importance of innovation as it relates to the future success of the company; and (2) announce the acquisition and merger with Stone & Straw. You've decided to use the second paragraph of your e-mail to advise Jonas of the importance of good communication. To help him, please identify two types of "noise" and explain how they could negatively impact Jonas' ability to deliver the news of the merger to the mid-level managers and employees.
