Harvard Business Review Analytic Services – Pulse report
The pandemic exposed striking differences in companies’ abilities to withstand crises. Those with scale were far better positioned. Scale became a factor in everything from deploying new technology to addressing labor shortages and supply chain issues. As buyers pursued increased scale through M&A, many mid-market companies saw this as an opportunity to sell at record-level valuations. Joanna Herman, Partner, Oaklins, New York

You will learn:

  • How companies are using M&A to become more equipped to sustain future crises and to adapt their businesses to the post-pandemic economy.
  • Why private equity buyers have become more willing to focus on growth and pay higher multiples for it, while strategic buyers appear more proactive in their M&A approach and aggressive in their valuations.
  • What new financing models you can consider, such as special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs)
  • How you can best benefit from current and future M&A trends, enabling your company to create significant strategic advantages and wealth creation for many years to come.
