Mastering M&A Intangibles Across Borders

Offered in conjunction with the Carnegie Bosch Institute

Overview

Studies regularly show that an overwhelming majority of M&A initiatives fail to meet shareholders' expectations due to shortfalls in intangibles such as building successful PMI teams, talent management and retention, creating a new corporate culture, and communication strategies.
