A Valentine’s Day special, with a little episode about efficient M&A (mergers & acquisitions), potentially leading to synergies! (the good old 1+1=3 from Bio-Synergies). I’ve done this one a very long time ago, so artwork is shaky at times, but I hope you’ll enjoy the abstract portions!
The episode follows an efficient M&A process:
- Strategy (or planning)
- Target
- Valuation
- Negotiation
- Due Diligence
- Agreement
- Integration
- Synergies
