Abstract
This research service provides on overview of the current merger and
acquisition (M&A) climate, as well as a more detailed overview of the key
issues driving both M&A and organic growth strategies. As part of this
analysis, we also conducted an extensive survey with over 200 corporate
executives, the findings of which are presented here. Finally, we provide an
outline of the framework we use to implement a process by which firms are able
to proactively manage their M&A efforts.
