| business development mergers and acquisitions: Mastering the Merger David Harding, Sam Rovit, 2004-11-04 Today's corporate deal makers face a conundrum: Though 70% of major acquisitions fail, it's nearly impossible to build a world-class company without doing deals. In Mastering the Merger, David Harding and Sam Rovit argue that a laserlike focus on just four key imperatives--before executives finalize the deal--can dramatically improve the odds of M&A success. Based on more than 30 years of in-the-trenches work on thousands of deals across a range of industries--and supplemented by extensive Bain & Co. research--Harding and Rovit reveal that the best M&A performers channel their efforts into (1) targeting deals that advance the core business; (2) determining which deals to close and when to walk away; (3) identifying where to integrate--and where not to; and (4) developing contingency plans for when deals inevitably stray. Top deal makers also favor a succession of smaller deals over complex megamergers--and essentially institutionalize a success formula over time. Helping executives zero in on what matters most in the complex world of M&A, Mastering the Merger offers a blueprint for the decisions and strategies that will beat the odds. |

| business development mergers and acquisitions: Business Development for the Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Industry Martin Austin, 2016-04-08 Business Development in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries accounts for over $5 billion in licensing deal value per year and much more than that in the value of mergers and acquisitions. Transactions range from licences to patented academic research, to product developments as licences, joint ventures and acquisition of intellectual property rights, and on to collaborations in development and marketing, locally or across the globe. Asset sales, mergers and corporate takeovers are also a part of the business development remit. The scope of the job can be immense, spanning the life-cycle of products from the earliest levels of research to the disposal of residual marketing rights, involving legal regulatory manufacturing, clinical development, sales and marketing and financial aspects. The knowledge and skills required of practitioners must be similarly broad, yet the availability of information for developing a career in business development is sparse. Martin Austin's highly practical guide spans the complete process and is based on his 30 years of experience in the industry and the well-established training programme that he has developed and delivers to pharmaceutical executives from across the world. |
| business development mergers and acquisitions: The Value Killers Nuno Fernandes, 2019-06-25 In a business climate marked by escalating global competition and industry disruption, successful mergers and acquisitions are increasingly vital to the growth and profitability of many corporations. If history is any guide, 60 to 70 per cent of new mergers will fail – and will destroy shareholder value. To date, analyses of the M&A failure rate tend to focus on individual causes – e.g., culture clashes, valuation methods, or CEO overconfidence – rather than examining the problem holistically. The Value Killers is the first book based on a holistic analysis of successful and unsuccessful transactions. Based on research, interviews with top executives, and case studies, this book identifies the key causes of failures and successes and offers prescriptions to increase the odds that future transactions will deliver all the anticipated synergies. The Value Killers offers practical advice in the form of 5 Golden Rules. These rules will help managers and boards to ensure that target companies are properly valued; potential synergies and risks are identified in advance; checks and balances are installed to make sure that the pros and cons of the transaction are rationally and objectively evaluated; mechanisms are created that will trigger termination of bad deals; and obstacles to successful post-merger integrations are assessed (and solutions developed) before the deal closes. Each chapter includes questions for executives considering future M&As to allow them to see whether they are on the right track or not. |

| business development mergers and acquisitions: Merger and Acquisition Strategies Terrence Walis, 2017-06 The Business environment has been changed rapidly because of dynamic changes in the global atmosphere. The technological advances have altered the business transactions in current corporations to world level. Every organisation has its vision to become a reputable organisation; along with its vision to maximize market share and future growth. Hence the organisations have to be strong in order to grow in the market. They have also needed precise and specialised information to enter in new markets. Therefore, they have to adopt a distinctive type of strategy to compete in such a dynamic environment. The organisations use Merger and Acquisition (M&A) as an effective approach to cope with the dynamic business environment. This strategy continues to be a highly familiar form of corporate development. In the last decade, M&A has become an impressive activity. Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) has redefined the corporate managerial environment, evidenced by the ever enhanced competitive edge of professional enterprises on todays market. Merger and acquisition are global phenomena which many organisations employed to grow internally, by expanding its operations both globally and domestically. Merger is different from acquisition. Merger is the combination of two or more businesses that leads to the formation of a new business, but acquisition is the takeover or purchase of one business by other business. This Monograph, Merger and Acquisition Strategies, sheds light on how synergies arise through mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Enterprises go through the process of Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) with the goal of improving performance, increasing efficiency and obtaining business synergy. Merger and acquisition benefit shareholders when the consolidated post-merger firm is more valuable than the simple sum of the two separate pre-merger firms. Mergers and acquisitions are aimed at achieving cost efficiency through economies of scale, and to diversity and expand on the range of business activities for improved performance. Merger and acquisition is adopted to attain the operating and financial efficiencies. According to the efficiency theory, the main motive of mergers and acquisition is to gain operating and financial synergy. Theories behind M&A have supported the concept that the value of the combined companies may rise after coming together. Mergers and acquisitions improve market efficiency by capturing synergies between firms. But takeovers also impose externalities on the remaining firms in the industry. This book has the importance for the concerned institutions, customers, shareholders, investors, competitors and internal management. The objective of the text is to assess the changes in the financial performance of institution after M&A and give complete information to the organisations about the pros and cons of M&A in the recent competitive business environment. |
