內容簡介：
International M&A are one of the favorite strategies of companies to expand their business abroad. The high failure rate of international M&A show that this strategy is showing specific risks which have to be explicitly managed in such an transaction. One of those risks is an inadequate project management. M&A transactions are highly complex projects mainly due to the heterogeneous tasks which have to be fulfilled, the multiple interdependencies between the tasks and the high number of internal and external staff which has to be coordinated. The objective of the speech is to present a structured and consistent model for organizing and leading M&A projects. For every phase of an M&A transaction the structure, the people and the responsibilities and instruments employed are described. A special focus is laid on the integration phase which proves to be the most important phase for the success of such a project. Especially the management of the human factor and the communication with the most important stakeholders is of importance in the integration phase.
