Defining Acquisition Criteria Based on Growth Objectives PPT
This PPT slide, part of the 79-slide Mergers, Acquisitions & Alliances Approach PowerPoint presentation, presents a structured approach to defining acquisition criteria based on a firm’s growth objectives. At the top, it emphasizes that understanding these objectives is crucial for establishing clear screening criteria. The visual representation resembles a funnel, indicating a broad universe of companies at the outset, which narrows down as specific criteria are applied.
The screening criteria listed include Size/Affordability, Strategic Fit, Geographic Fit, and Ownership/Receptivity. Each criterion serves as a filter to assess potential acquisition targets. Size/Affordability addresses the financial viability of potential acquisitions, ensuring they align with budget constraints. Strategic Fit evaluates how well a target complements the firm's existing operations and long-term goals. Geographic Fit considers the relevance of a target's location to the firm's market strategy. Ownership/Receptivity examines the willingness of the target company to engage in a sale.
On the right side, the slide outlines characteristics of less attractive partners. These include factors such as unmanageable size, which refers to large global players that may be difficult to integrate. Companies demanding too high a premium, like technology leaders, are also flagged. Additionally, firms with minimal strategic fit or those located in lower-priority geographies are deemed less desirable. Finally, companies that are unresponsive or reluctant to sell are highlighted as unsuitable targets.
This framework provides a clear methodology for narrowing down potential acquisition targets, ensuring that firms can focus their efforts on the most promising opportunities. The insights gained from this slide can guide strategic decision-making in the acquisition process.
