In the field of finance and corporate strategies, merger and acquisition (M&A) have been considered as a popular instrument to enhance a market share of a product or service, increase research and development (R&D) benefits, improve profitability and revenue, optimize cost, obtain synergies in technology, and improve processes and expand geographical reach.
There is a gap between theoretical and practical knowledge in assessing pre and post M&A risks. Success and failure of a M&A depend on complex factors and synergies which either drive the deal or hinder the post deal expected results. M&A risk assessment score card provides a rating score that enables the decision makers to assess the probability of success and gives a scope to finetune the synergy factors to enhance the performance of the deal.
