| Abstract: | Some of the reasons for a current disenchantment with the acquisitions boom are examined. It is argued that an important factor in achieving success is a good strategic fit between the acquiring company and the target. To achieve this requires measurement of the synergies in financial terms and what they can do for the acquirer. Methods of analysis are described which can improve the success rate in these operations. |
