The challenges of Mergers & Acquisitions
- Historically 60-70% of deals do not generate value
- ROI (return on investment) pressure has increased
- M&A is often based on opportunism instead of strategy
- M&A proces is often underestimated in terms of required management attention, impact on company and stakeholders and emotions involved
- "Post Merger” Integration is often underestimated (“too little and too late”)
- A complex proces with many disciplines, stakeholders, various interests and emotions
