Many paths to M&A success
Some companies view an acquisition as a fast and easy way to grow revenue or market share. Others are looking to stake out the strategic high ground, or to acquire new products, markets, channels or technologies. And some companies are simply trying to keep up with competitors.
But there’s another layer of value to be gained from M&A and many companies are pursuing it: the opportunity to transform. Many banks, for example, are consolidating in the wake of the financial crisis and dramatic financial reform. Some tech companies are expanding into new service areas and gobbling up emerging technologies. And some healthcare companies – including providers, insurers and drug makers – are positioning themselves to capitalize on healthcare reform and looking to reduce costs through economies of scale. The list of transformation opportunities goes on and on.
