New Approaches to Mergers and Acquisitions
About this book
New Approaches to Mergers and Acquisitions explores the dynamic and often unpredictable world of corporate growth through alliances, mergers, and acquisitions. Just as living organisms experience cycles of birth, growth, maturity, and decline, organisations too face these phases. However, unlike living entities, businesses can achieve immortality through strategic expansion and transformation.
Based on both their academic and client-based research, business gurus Fons Trompenaars and Peter Woolliams delve into the crucial role of mergers and acquisitions in securing long-term survival, whether by enhancing core capabilities, diversifying into new markets, or capitalising on synergies between merging entities. From corporate takeovers to public sector integrations, the book examines a wide array of real-world cases, demonstrating how organisations of all sizes—from multinational corporations to small businesses—grapple with the complexities of consolidation.
With practical approaches, structured methodologies, and client-based case studies, New Approaches to Mergers and Acquisitions offers a fresh perspective on achieving sustainable business integration. It is an essential read for business leaders, policymakers, consultants, and students seeking to understand and master the complexities of corporate consolidation.
