All firms seek to increase their value in the market. This can sometimes be best accomplished by growing organically, though product enhancement or market expansion. Firms often seek the non-organic path, by acquiring another firm. The decision to grow non-organically, the value you place on a target and the premium you pay for that target, and once acquired how to best integrate the newly acquired firm all factor into whether the acquisition will be successful. Successful M&A’s are possible but not all acquisitions are successful. This course will discuss the challenges that firms face when executing a successful M&A.
