This section provides the grounding for Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A). In it you will cover the basic structure and flow ‘shape’ that M&A transactions follow. Additionally, the three key elements in the successful M&A pyramid will be explored. Within each of these are areas which need to be managed to achieve successful M&A.
