Mergers and acquisitions can provide a source of growth for companies that cannot drive sufficient returns from organic or operational means. These transactions can provide a vehicle for capturing economies in operating costs and rationalizing assets. Results are mixed, however, since traditional analysis of relative stock price, shareholder return, and other value metrics following a merger or acquisition do not show consistent positive results. Successful results require skillful navigation around human, operational, regulatory, and political obstacles.
