The Honeymoon is Over — Now What?
How to Leverage, Integrate and Combine Product Offerings for Corporate Survival Post Merger/Acquisition

Regardless of industry, the last decade has seen massive corporate consolidation. While the reasons for acquisition are myriad, the goal is singular: incorporate the acquired technology into the product line offerings as quickly as possible. This is easier said than done as daunting statistics show that 83% of all mergers and acquisitions fail to achieve increased shareholder value one year later.

Learn what you can do to avoid becoming another statistic:

• Perform In-Depth Due Diligence

• Define a Sound Business Strategy

• Define an Effective Product Strategy

• Define a Concise Technology Strategy

• Ensure These Strategies Align

• View R&D Budget as the Driver of Revenue Growth and Profitability

Management Roundtable's exclusive new audio session, The Honeymoon is Over - Now What? How to Leverage, Integrate and Combine Product Offerings for Corporate Survival Post Merger/Acquisition features Tim Bosch, who will examine how successful companies effectively plan their post-acquisition product integration activities, carefully aligning their business, product and technology strategies to create a workable roadmap to market, product and technology alignment.

This 90-minute session (including 30 minutes Q&A) will demonstrate how this alignment supports strategic budget allocations and financial planning, allowing companies to wield their research and development budget as a driver of top-line growth and profitability.

As industry expansion continues to drive new cycles of innovation, the winners of the battle for market share inevitably will be those who can best leverage their combined technology assets to provide differentiable value to both their customers and shareholders.

Frequent opportunities for questions and answers will provide participants with guidance on their unique concerns and challenges. The session also includes:

• Hardcopy of presentation slides sent to your office prior to session.

• Your questions answered by an expert
