Director survey: How the pandemic has set new M&A priorities
In summary, the survey found that boards are giving M&A activity greater attention earlier in the process, ensuring that a company’s deal strategy is right and that diligence is done properly. The flip side is that they are giving less granular attention to integration planning and to longer-term efforts to assess deal success. Directors also are putting new emphasis on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations in M&A, responding to growing demands from diverse stakeholders and the increased attention management teams are giving these issues.
