M&A strategies are considered an amalgamation of both defensive and offensive moves played by the company with the aim of building accelerating business models.
DEFENSIVE MOVE
One lesson that is a must for all companies is to build a business model with a firm establishment of resilience at its core. The defensive move through M&A strategy helps businesses ensure their agility & adaptability and ward off threats from competitors in the marketplace.
OFFENSIVE MOVE
In the words of George Washington, the first US President, “The best defence is a good offence.” This stands true in the business world also. As important as it is to defend businesses from possible threats in the marketplace, it is equally important to make bold moves. The acquisition allows the company to play the smart and bold move to capture the market and enjoy the competitive advantage from the leadership position.
Businesses are now understanding the value of offensive and defensive moves and the remarkable shift has been noted in the M&A in the postpandemic era.
