Abstract

Acquisitions activity in the United States is more intense today than at any time since the 1960s. Among the trends in today's acquisitions market: larger acquisitions, many over $200 million; the changing mix of companies involved; and a switch to cash payment and higher premiums. Cutting through the acquisitions maze requires sound strategic planning.
