In the current sort-of post-COVID environment, we see a lot of mergers and acquisitions occur. Having spent quite a bit of my consulting career working with clients who were either merging or acquiring/divesting, I’ve seen my fair share of great and not-so-great outcomes.
In the heat of the hunt, a company acquiring or “merging interests with” another company may focus on the big issues, or at least what they believe are the biggest issues: human capital, real estate, customer bases, product redundancy and the like. Often, the telco sector of the businesses isn’t seen as important compared to other areas. However, this doesn’t mean that the merger isn’t important to those who work in the communications infrastructure.
