Taken from the M&A Talk Podcast: Why Half of Acquisitions Fail with Mark Sirower
Summary:
Mark analyzed 1,200 acquisitions over a 24-year period of time and realized that less than half were successful. Why were only half successful, and what did they have in common? Mark is the co-author of The Synergy Solution and has spent more than two decades helping companies ensure their acquisitions are successful.
