| Abstract: | More than two thirds of acquisitions fail to create meaningful shareholder value. When mergers btw. similar companies seem an obvious way of gaining opportunities of scale and scope, why do so many lead to disaster? The article emphasizes the importance of having an investment thesis and of getting the planning right from long before the merger announcement. In this way, the new team can hit the ground running from the beginning of the new company's existence. |
