The goal of inventory management is to have the right products in the right place at the right time.

While the idea of increased market share, a strengthened core business, expanded product lines, enhanced technologies, and reduced costs—drive the desire to find that perfect strategic partner, studies have shown that that over 80% of merger and acquisitions fail to achieve targeted expectations.

In reality, this less-than-20% success rate does not mean that the mergers and acquisitions fail on paper. But it does mean that they don’t meet expectations, and the new entity does not function as it should. Are the expectations too high? What should we expect with a merger or acquisition? How do we improve the chances for success?
