An interactive discussion about why digital M&A matters in today's business environment. We will identify the trends, challenges and opportunities of digital M&A deals. 70% to 90% of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) fail. So why do companies spend more than $2 trillion worldwide on mergers and acquisitions (M&A) every year? Selling or merging a business is not like selling a house. There are many obstacles to a successful business sale or merger. Much planning is needed to identify the obstacles faced by business owners, and overcome or minimize the effect of the obstacles. You will learn: * Why digital M&A is different from traditional M&A * How to prepare for a successful digital M&A deal * What are the steps for a successful transition * Pitfalls to avoid when getting ready for inorganic growth We will identify the trends of the M&A market and focus specifically on opportunities for the digital M&A market. We will discuss why mergers and acquisitions are so attractive to business owners, executives and investors, why digital M&A matters, why it is important to ensure your company is prepared to succeed, and how to prepare to survive a digital merger or acquisition.
