AXS M&A Services
According to several studies worldwide less than 15% of all mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures projects are rated as success by top managers later on. The top-reasons for this high failure rates are first: megalomania of top-managers trying to make the company big instead of profitable or else trying to impress analysts and investors. Second: missing alignment of M&A transactions to the company’s overall strategy and business culture. Third: underestimation of the later integration tasks especially related to HR, commercial and IT departments.
These types of projects must therefore be considered as high-risk undertakings. However, in case of successful project management impressive pay-offs can be reached: strong synergy effects resulting in high profits, strengthening of the company’s market power, reduction of risks due to well organised diversification.
AXS Partners supports clients in both phases of an M&A project through its Pre-M&A consulting and Post-M&A integration services. Read more about our service ranges of:
