Biting off more than we can chew
Continuing with the festive theme for this blog. Some people eat their food quite delicately, one small mouthful after another, leaving plenty of time to digest the meal as they go. Others, at the other end of the spectrum just seem to hog their food down, taking the largest possible mouthfuls in the shortest period of time.Organisations in the acquisitions game are a bit the same. Takeovers and mergers can be leisurely, timely and considered affairs or they can be frantic, rushed and ill considered.
At the end of the day, we are looking for synergy between the two new partners. Just like a personal relationship the more that we can share, in an open and honest way about the jugular issues before the ceremony, the more likely we are to end up with a relationship where one and one makes three.
We all get indigestion occasionally and there is usually a good reason for it.
