Event Overview

Realising the maximum potential of a transaction poses complicated and unique challenges since no two deals are alike. Clearly defining and managing post-merger integration (PMI) activities is one of the most important elements of a successful transaction. However, we all have experience with acquisitions that destroyed value rather than created it. What are the reasons some deals are sustainably successful while others fail to meet expectations?

Professor Fehre will walk us through the different scenarios of PMI. With many practical examples, she will address the main challenges of PMI and provide us with recommendations on how to overcome them.
