Acquisitions are risky undertakings. Research indicates rate of failure in acquisitions exceeds 50% and is as high as 80 – 90%*. The high failure rate of acquisitions is chiefly a result of ineffective integrations. Management capacity, coupled with limited expertise in business combinations, are challenges to creating value from inorganic pursuits. Merging two entities is typically not a core strength of the organizations involved in the merger. The primary causes for ineffective integrations can be traced to a failure to initiate planning early enough in the due diligence process, poorly defined goals, and lacking a sufficiently thorough tactical execution plan that involves all aspects of the business: organization/structure, market understanding, systems and processes/culture. The result: an underperforming business that drags overall financial metrics down and – importantly – commands a disproportionate amount of time and energy of the senior team, frequently in the form of fire-fighting or crisis management.
