Merge Ahead Mastering the five enduring trends of artful M&A Written by Gerald Adolph and Justin Pettit with Michael Sisk |
Prior to the economic downturn of 2008–2009, the number of mergers and acquisitions reached an historic high. Whatever happens next, one thing is clear: mergers, acquisitions, and growth will be more important than ever. Those who prepare their organizations for a multifaceted growth strategy—integrating acquisitions, organic growth, and alliances—will be the ones most likely to survive the difficult years and seize the opportunities in tomorrow’s restructured industries.
Merge Ahead: Mastering the five enduring trends of artful M&A, a new book by Gerald Adolph, Senior Partner and head of the mergers & restructuring practice and Justin Pettit, Partner and corporate finance practice leader, defines M&A’s proper role in an integrated corporate growth strategy, examines the effects that five long-term trends and current downturn are having on M&A, and suggests concrete means by which companies can improve their established deal-making strategies and tactics.
