Recommendation

A blockbuster merger might seem like an executive’s easy path to profit and glory. In truth, the M&A field is fraught with pitfalls, strategist Timothy Galpin writes in this 10-step guide to mergers and acquisitions. The uncomfortable reality is that, despite the flowery press releases and breathless news coverage, most corporate marriages flop. But in this useful guide, Galpin tries to improve the odds by offering a methodical approach to everything from finding the right companies to acquire to making sure valued employees stick around after the deal is done.

Take-Aways

  • The M&A process begins with formulating an acquisition strategy.
  • Find acquisition targets that fall within your strategic parameters.
  • Conduct due diligence to avoid any unpleasant surprises.
