Description
Mergers are making headlines and prompting questions about which will ultimately succeed and which will fail. The wave of mergers in all sectors continues unabated: petroleum, financial services, telecoms, automotives, accountancy, and even in publishing. Even in an economic downturn, merger and acquisition activity continues to accelerate. However, an A.T. Kearney pan-European study suggests that half the acqusitions fail to achieve their objectives, while three-quarters actually destroy shareholder value. The objective for most mega-mergers is to increase market share and capitalise from the [elusive] "synergies" between businesses while making substantial cost savings via economies of scale. With such a clear objective in mind how come things go so disastrously wrong? Although integration is not without stress for an organization and employees, mergers can succeed if companies develop and adhere to a highly disciplined strategy of adding value on day one while implementing a blueprint for future growth. After the Merger shows how.
