“In most industries, organic growth alone is insufficient to meet stakeholder expectation. For this reason, boards turn to mergers and acquisitions (M&A). M&A can deliver rapid growth, scale economies, market power and the new knowledge and technology required in a rapidly changing world. However, it is not without risk. Many acquisitions destroy value and the majority fail to meet expectations. This programme will help you to successfully navigate this difficult terrain with the latest insights from leading academics and practitioners.”
