Recorded Webcast and Podcast: M&A Agility for Global Organizations

With the weak dollar in the U.S. and soft economies in a number of countries around the world, we're seeing more cross-border bargain hunting as top companies seek to expand their global footprint. But sometimes these deals can become more of an albatross than a boost to the bottom line -- often because the acquiring company underestimates the risks and challenges inherent in integrating operations across borders.

In this recorded Webcast and podcast, Towers Perrin M&A Practice Leader Mark Arian and Principal Kevin Dent review why cross-border deals are always such a tough nut to crack -- and how companies can become more agile at creating high-performing businesses and cultures across national boundaries.

You'll learn:

• A better understanding of people risks associated with cross-border deals
• Effective strategies for mitigating these risks throughout the deal-making process
• How paying closer attention to governance and culture can help overcome the key obstacles
• The secrets to success in cross-border integration, based on case studies that reveal what agile acquirers have learned the hard way.
