What does it take to succeed in M&A? For the past two decades, BCG’s annual M&A reports have explored the answers to this question. One constant in our studies is an emphasis on the elements that drive genuine, long-lasting deal success.
To mark the 20th anniversary of our M&A Report, we looked back at our rich history of analyses related to deal value creation. We refreshed these insights using our proprietary data set of more than 900,000 deals spanning three decades. Our goal was to discern the success factors that distinguish top-tier dealmakers from the rest of the pack.
Among the many pivotal factors that we encountered, ten imperatives stood out as consistently crucial for M&A success. These success factors have withstood the test of time, remaining as significant in our updated analyses as when we first identified them.
