As business environments become more complex, some companies are able to take advantage of available opportunities to acquire or merge with others in similar or complementary industries.<\/p>\n<p>Data shows that due to economic conditions and an aging workforce, the level of M&amp;A activity is set to increase. Key reasons for M&amp;A include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Succession planning<\/li>\n<li>Geographic or customer market extension<\/li>\n<li>Enhancing business capacity through increased production, sales, or distribution ability<\/li>\n<li>Acquiring technical talent and product knowledge that would take too long to develop in-house<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Unfortunately, M&amp;A strategy is not risk-free, and research consistently shows that results are often less than anticipated.
