M&A and Divestitures

Embedding Corporate Transactions into Overall Strategy

Related Topics:

M&A and divestitures are increasingly critical to business success. Why? Growth drives value creation, and acquisitions offer a way to grow when organic growth is limited. Actively pruning the business portfolio over time also helps a company sustain its capacity to deliver value. It’s not easy—most M&As actually destroy value. The key is to manage corporate transactions as an industrial process, not an occasional activity, at all stages—be it during due diligence or in the critical post-merger integration phase.

Use these industry lessons and focus topics to navigate the landscape and processes of M&A.
