As we have heard many times recently, revenue and growth is very important for our future survival … this can be achieved in a variety of different ways.   One such way is to embark upon a Business Transformation programme once, another is to merge with or acquire another company.

Our M&A Consultant comments that a recent survey report from Deloitte shows how M&A can help drive revenue and growth … in this report, the view is shared that as the economic recovery continues, albeit slowly, they expect companies in many industries to rely increasingly on mergers and acquisitions (M&A) to help drive revenue growth and bottom-line performance.  Survey results show that 52% of executives interviewed expect M&A to add more than 5% to revenue growth on a compound annual basis over the next two to five years.  This is significant when compared to average annual revenue growth of the S&P 500 of approximately 4% over the past 10 years.
