Résumé :	This study examines the effects of the differences in organizational identities that emerged during a post-merger project that aimed at unifying the laboratory services of a large healthcare center that resultedfrom the merging of three hospitals by supporting them with a unique information system. We drawon the concepts of organizational identity and sensemaking to analyze the laboratory information sys-tem implementation project. Organizational identity is conceptualized as the mental representation thatorganizational members have of themselves as a social group in terms of practices, norms, and valuesand how they understand themselves to be different from members of other organizations. Data anal-ysis suggests that divergent organizational identities and team members’ alternative interpretations ofothers’ practices, norms and organizational symbols, coexist during the post-merger integration phase.These interpretations are reflected in the final functionality of the information system that was differentfrom the planned one.
