ACCELERATED GROWTH
MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS
Post Merger Acquisition Growth
· Did you know that roughly 50-70% of mergers and acquisitions fail to achieve expectations? Do you know why?
Companies fail to achieve the expected synergies and financial results after a merger or acquisition primarily due to gaps or flaws in the initial decision and/or a lack of focus on growth due to integration and cost cutting measures. The question is asked, “Should I merge or acquire?” However, after it is done many are stuck due to gaps in the initial decision or process. The question now becomes, “What do I do now that a decision has already been made?”
