Current economic challenges have cause some companies to adopt an approach to growth through mergers and acquisitions (M&A) instead of entering or staying in the public markets, or in lieu of other paths to growth.
In the latest NACD BoardTalk blog, NACD, in partnership with Alvarez & Marsal, Deloitte, and Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson, brought together a panel to discuss pressing M&A topics, including when M&A is a suitable alternative for companies to raise capital, how current economic challenges like inflation and the war in Ukraine affected the M&A market, and the tools and resources to help guide you in unpredictable times.
"First, be intentional about having cultural assessments as a function of your deal," says Matthew Hency, A&M Managing Director, when asked what boards should consider when thinking about M&A and the tight labor market. "The next thing is importance of leadership's vision being communicated clearly and early on. The last thing is that this is not just a 100-day activity any longer; this is a long game to play."
Learn how M&A experts are preparing for today's economic challenges.
