Negotiating Mergers & Alliances
Immense amounts of capital and executive time are spent negotiating and consummating corporate mergers, acquisitions, and alliances. In today's fast-paced business environment, few opportunities to increase shareholder value are as significant as the ones presented by these strategic transactions.
Unfortunately, the skills that help executives identify and analyze potential opportunities are very different from the ones needed to negotiate those deals profitably. As a result, companies often fail to maximize the return on their time and capital from critical merger, acquisition, and alliance agreements, and suffer from:
- weak coordination of--and poor deal execution by--the internal negotiating team;
- ineffective due diligence that fails to prepare management to negotiate the best possible deal;
- "leaving money on the table" during negotiations; and
- poor post-deal integration, resulting in weak operating performance.
Considering the amount of money and executive-level time at stake, few investments pay back as quickly as the one a company makes in improving the skills the team it sends to negotiate mergers, acquisitions, and alliances.
