Companies that actively engage in mergers and acquisitions (M&A), even during times of economic uncertainty, are positioned to take advantage of opportunities for growth and expansion. However, in order for M&A deals to deliver synergies and create value, corporate strategy and M&A strategy need to be meaningfully aligned. After the deal is complete, the post-merger integration must be thoughtfully implemented. The INSEAD Executive Education M&A Success Strategies – Online programme will equip you with essential tools and frameworks to make better M&A decisions from start to finish.
