Game On: Going On The Offensive Through Mergers and Sales
RALEIGH, N.C., June 16, 2011 – FMI, the largest provider of management consulting and investment banking to the engineering and construction industry, releases its newest study “Game On: Going On The Offensive Through Mergers and Sales.” FMI interviewed 27 executives of design and engineering firms and surveyed an additional 34 executives to determine key industry trends as well as challenges and opportunities that firms face in the coming years.
The findings provide the backdrop for a discussion about how companies should start thinking about selling their business – going on the offensive to ally themselves with firms that offer a greater array of resources to capture new opportunities. A well-executed strategic acquisition or sale can create substantial value on both ends of the transaction and position firms for vast progressive leaps into new markets, disciplines and service offerings.
