Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 6

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to identify, assess and prioritize the risks associated with mergers and acquisitions with the aim of deploying focused and coordinated strategies to mitigate these risks. These strategies should target to minimize the impact of the perceived risk and to also maximize the realization of the opportunities that come with mergers and acquisitions (Hubbard, 2009). The paper identifies some of the reasons why companies opt to go into mergers or acquisitions. It also attempts to identify some of the critical factors responsible for the failure of mergers and acquisitions. It further suggests some solutions on how companies can minimize the risks associated with mergers and acquisitions.
