Inside Corporate M&A – Study: „Inside Corporate M&A – The Formula of the Fittest“
What distinguishes successful company buyers from the vast rest of buyers whose company purchase later turns out to be a failure?
The conclusion: "Best practices" in M&A processes are the success factor: The successful purchase of a company is not an art, but is based on sophisticated M&A processes. The better the M&A team and the management of the acquiring company master the M&A processes, the more successful these companies are in corporate acquisitions.
Especially companies that make many acquisitions have first-class M&A process know-how and for this reason are very successful in M&A transactions. In the study, Accenture distinguishes between "Core M&A Processes" and "M&A Enabling Processes".
The "Core M&A Processes" include:
- Strategy Management: Positioning, Strategic Planning, Screening & Selection, Justification
- Transaction Management: Deal Origination, Project Management, Due Diligence, Valuation, Negotiation
- Integration Management: Integration Concept, Integration Management
M&A Enabling Processes" include:
- M&A Governance: Organization, Committees, Roles, Process
- M&A Performance Management: Reporting, Reward Scheme, Auditing
- Knowledge Management: Knowledge Retention, Knowledge Replication
From our many years of experience advising on corporate acquisitions, successful acquisitions continue to be inextricably linked to:
- linked to an M&A strategy based on the corporate strategy
- good timing in the M&A process is just as important for a successful acquisition
- as a realistic assessment of the purchase prices currently being paid on the market
