CEOs should see M&A as an opportunity to use compensation as a vehicle to drive business and leadership strategies of the new combined entity.
They call it the “deal tax”: When a public company announces a merger or acquisition, it is greeted with one, two or half a dozen lawsuits, sometimes drafted and filed within hours of the announcement.
Here are five new “rules” to communicate better during M&A or other change that will help you retain talent and thus preserve the integrity of the deal. If you are planning transformation or change other than M&A, these same rules can be applied.
By creating an organized work environment, tracking your revenue accurately, negotiating fairly, and preparing yourself for the next stage in your professional life, you’ll set up your sale for success and find the right buyer who recognizes your brand’s value.
Companies can and do fail for any number of reasons. Failure based on ineffective relationships due to poor communications and ineffective negotiation is completely avoidable.
With a strategy as aggressive and risky as acquisition, there are many fundamentals that have to be put into place and operating smoothly for success. Here’s one CEO’s experience.
Look no further than the bombshell earnings disappointment from Kraft Heinz for confirmation of how important it is for CEOs to get “big-to-small” strategies right.
Here’s a look into a process for building value into companies and the role of a turnaround specialist in asset recovery and valuation preservation for troubled companies.
Middle-market companies are some of the most sought—after assets, providing one of the best environments for M&A investors to create returns.
