| Summary
Business Week has found no improvement
in CEO’s dealmaking skills¹ (most recent study
versus previous study). In fact, if a major deal is announced
the odds, based on an historical analysis of over 300 major
deals, showed that the acquirer’s stock would most
likely be lower on the year anniversary of the deal announcement.
If studies such as this show a majority of deals may not
be in the shareholder’s interests then why are these
deals being done? The answer is a complex one but reasons
² cited for poor performance include:
1. Management depth and commitment
2. Pre-acquisition research inadequate or inaccurate
3. Integration planning inadequate
4. Information systems issues
E-manda was created to assist in all of the
above areas. We accomplish this enablement through software
tools, communication platforms, and timely services and
support forums. Our products encapsulate all communications
and deliverables on a secure platform with predefined, automated
workflow and reporting platform. We improve communications
between management and affected employees, between the buyer
and the seller, and between the management and shareholders.
Shareholders deserve and appreciate
a proactive management team. Boards embrace the accountability
improved negotiating power. Managers love the visibility.
Executives are empowered by the improved analysis. It’s
time to discovered and embrace E-manda.”
