6. Read the following case study in detail and answer the questions :

   Mastery of mergers and acquisitions entails using skills from a wide range of management disciplines. It could be that many mergers and acquisitions fail because the managers leading them have an insufficient breadth of skills and/or experience. In mastering this art one will have to call upon many disciplines encountered in the core MBA courses. In order to evaluate the strategic logic of a merger or acquisition, manager will need to think like a strategist. The basics of the Strategic Planning course are extended to encompass focus and characteristics mapping. Having evaluated the strategic logic, managers will then be challenged to put a value on the proposed merger or acquisition transaction and, therefore, will need to think like a financier, drawing on the knowledge acquired during the Finance course. Last, but by no means least, managers will be challenged to implement the proposed merger or acquisition, drawing on the knowledge acquired in the Project Management and Strategic Risk Management courses. In Mergers and Acquisitions, managers are challenged to think in an integrated manner; like a strategist, financier and project manager, but all at the same time. Few functional managers, with the possible exception of a few CEOs and general managers, are called upon to apply such a wide range of disciplines simultaneously in an integrated manner. It is, however, our observation that many people who lead mergers and acquisitions in practice come from a single functional background. This may be part of the explanation for many of the failures in mergers and acquisitions, and for the recent rise of specialist merger and acquisition project management consultancies.

   Questions :

   1. Summarize the whole case in your own words.
   2. Why mergers and acquisitions fail as per the case?
   3. Discuss the reasons why project management consultancies are in demand?
