Where Mergers Go Wrong
Few companies reap the value they expect from acquisitions, usually because they overestimate the synergies. Fewer still follow up by comparing premerger estimates with actual benefits—so they pay too much the next time too.
The take-away: To make mergers more successful, executives should systematically estimate the value of possible synergies and codify the results for future reference.
