Management of a Merger or Acquisition Transaction
Merger and acquisition transactions are complex, time consuming, costly and a major strategic move by management.
They are often structured by multiple parties with various and competing interests. Each stage in a transaction life cycle requires different skills but it is vital that all stages are glued together by consistency, continuity, discipline and drive.
Often the need for a disciplined approach to mergers and acquisitions is not realised until the transaction begins to fail. |
