Seize the competitive advantage with today's most powerful
strategic tool--M&A
""Given the influence of technology, globalization, and
regulatory change, M&A will continue to shape our industries.
For most companies, therefore, the consideration of M&A in
strategy is now fundamental.""
-from the Introduction to Part I
"The Art of M&A Strategy" is exactly what you need to build
mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures into your overall business
strategy--to make M&A a competitive advantage and avoid landing
on the long list of M&A failures.
Experts in the field of M&A, Smith and Lajoux demystify this
otherwise complex subject by taking you through the types of
M&A strategy and the key steps to successful M&A strategy
development and implementation. "The Art of M&A Strategy" is
conveniently organized into three sections: Part I presents a range
of possible corporate strategy situations and provides the role and
rationale for M&A in each, such as building and managing a
portfolio, participating in industry consolidation, spurring
corporate growth, and using acquisitions to create "real options."
Part II outlines how to determine the role of M&A in your
strategy--taking into consideration industry context, competitive
imperatives, and strategy options--and explains how to find and
screen partners, decide whether to buy or sell, and engage the
board of directors in M&A decisions. Part III covers M&A as
a sustained corporate program, particularly in the context of
international growth, outlining the most strategic aspects of
post-merger integration, describing how to use advisors throughout
the process, and examining core competencies required for
successful M&A programs.
The authors illuminate the purpose and process of applying
M&A with real-world success stories involving Cisco, GE,
Google, and many other companies that have leveraged M&A for
strategic success. Use "The Art of M&A Strategy" to create a
powerful strategy position for success in today's changing business
environment and to seize and hold competitive advantage.
