The 'HR M&A' discipline emerges

Article Abstract:

There is growing evidence that more expertise is required in relation to the Human Resources (HR) aspects of merger and acquisition deals. This is prompting some consulting practices and a small number of innovative companies to seek to establish this expertise with relevant methodology and enabling tools. Some companies have even developed a core competency in the effective integration of acquisitions. The business justification for investing in HR merger and acquisition expertise depends on the expected complexities of the deal and the required speed and effectiveness of the integration process.

The 'HR M&A' discipline emerges

Article Abstract:

The fact that most merger and acquisition deals fail to reach their financial targets is frequently attributed to a lack of attention to the human resources elements of the deal while it is being planned and carried out. There is now a lot of evidence indicating that success in merger and acquisition deals or in restructuring is significantly affected by how talented the parties are in dealing with the many technical human resources issues involved in such transactions. The key human resources issues include roles, responsibilities, skills and change management.

Ex-Schroders man plays matchmaker

Article Abstract:

It has been possible to attract considerable interest from fund-of-funds investors looking to diversify, according to Gerard Tardy, head of new firm Sitka Partners. This firm aims to align the financing needs of continental European companies with private equity providers based in London, England. Tardy believes that value can be added by identifying the real issues linked with the target company at the initial investment recommendation stage. He feels that these issues are not properly addressed by investment banks paid by the vendor.
