Everyone talks about M&A, what methods to use for valuation, due diligence, why to do M&A and how to evaluate the companies, there is lack of guidance on how to navigate once you have acquired the asset organization. Experts argue that 90% of M&As fail to meet their objectives.
This is primarily because post the deal, there is no one to offer advice, or handhold, or guide about how to make this deal a success. We will look into the world post the transaction – how to make the transaction successful.
The course is designed with the following specific objectives and learning outcomes:
