Deconstructing M&A Strategy: A panel from the M&A Conference at the University of Chicago June 2023

How are you taking advantage of lower premiums and less competition for deals? Are there effective ways to ensure your M&A team is employing a clear deal thesis with a strong alignment to strategy? Has the sentiment shifted from innovation and capability-driven M&A if there is limited economic value? How should the M&A calculus change when evaluating horizontal v. vertical acquisitions? Does the strength of the dollar make cross border M&A more interesting?  How do you assess your team’s readiness and capacity for deal making?
