In an uncertain economy, a corporate dealmaker's margin for error is smaller, and corporate development best practices are more important than ever. When it comes to the crucial process of post-deal integration, that translates into a need for thoughtful planning, strong leadership and rigorous execution. At the same time, some of the most significant integrations now under way in pharma and tech deals require innovative approaches that reflect learning from past mistakes. What are the biggest challenges dealmakers are facing as they work to mesh organizations, realize synergies, and deliver on the promise of the deal?
Please join us for this webcast, the third in our 3-part series on Corporate Development best practices in a downturn. After listening for just 60 minutes of in-depth discussion with our editor and leading corporate development experts, you'll get some valuable perspective on the key issues integration leaders are facing these days.
