If well considered and structured, mergers and acquisitions can create enormous shareholder value, however, deal completion is not the end of the process. It’s when the real work starts.
The path to integrating two companies, often competitors, with differing cultures, values and histories is fraught with danger but lined with rewards. Few organizations, however, apply the same rigor to managing and guiding the integration process as what they applied to the actual M&A investment or deal activity.
Yet knowing potential synergies and capitalizing on them over and above the scale or scope advantages of the combined entity is the fundamental basis to the overall M&A transaction.
Understanding the integration process and how Vietnam specific issues can impact on achieving a successful M&A outcome is Serica’s bread and butter. We work with clients to ensure client and employee retention, infrastructure alignment, cultural integration, organization optimization and executive management selection.
We understand that every integration, like every M&A transaction, is unique. We adapt our approach to the nature of the deal and ensure our integration thesis is aligned with the deal objectives.
Creating an outcome whereby the sum of the whole is greater than the parts is our goal. The alchemy behind achieve this is our strength.
