Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activities are at an all-time high. Increasingly, companies turn to M&A to cope with digitalization, environmental volatility, shifting technologies, and competition from adjacent industries. Despite inherent challenges in the dealmaking and post-merger integration phases, these recent developments cause portfolio transformation to top executive agendas. This conference brings together leading thinkers from practice and academia to address important open questions related to strategic, behavioural, and sociocultural issues for today’s M&A to succeed. By sharing "state of the art" insights on how to prepare and execute for successful M&A, the conference unites executive and academic interest to define frontiers in M&A research and practice in the years ahead. Registration to attend the Conference will close on 12 April 2019
