Today’s rapidly changing global economy, many companies are taking a new look at their merger and acquisition (M&A) strategy as a powerful and critical component in achieving organizational goals.

It is therefore critical that the supply chain strategy become a part of the merger and acquisition strategy and that it is fully supportive of an organization’s business strategy.
