Even in challenging economic times, business leaders need to consider major transactions as a means of renewing and transforming their enterprises.
Strategic transactions – acquisitions, divestments, IPOs, privatisations, mergers and alliances, debt and equity deals – can enhance competitive advantage and shareholder value.
In these transactions, the margins for error are thin and lenders and investors are unforgiving of poorly thought out and executed deals.
