Utilizing M&A to Adapt to Rapidly Changing Business Environment

The importance of M&A As a Tool to Adapt to Changing Business Environments

To succeed in the current business environment companies will need to develop a keen sense of agility to grapple with the slow and uncertain economy, political risks, the threat from new entrants with more creative and efficient business models, etc.  It is widely recognized by CEOs that to respond to today’s marketplace organic growth is far from enough because most transformational technologies are outside the core competency of the average organization.  According to KPMG, CEOs are pursuing a range of activities in search of growth, which are listed below.  For each activity, the percentage indicates what percentage of CEOs will think about that particular action.

 

Versailles Group - M&A

 

M&A, including minority investments, is expected to play a major role as companies search for new and valuable business solutions. Companies that are able to be proactive in terms of technological and business model disruptions will greatly enhance their chances of success, profitability, and longevity.  With regard to the US presidential election, and as Warren Buffet said, the market will move forward with either candidate who happens to get elected as President.  The country will survive and business will survive.  Succinctly, M&A will go on regardless of political uncertainty.
