With all the attention paid to target screening, selection, negotiating, and due diligence, why are irrational acquisitions made? What is a means of preventing these dysfunctional acquisitions?
What will be an ideal response?
Despite the rational analysis that should surround an acquisition, executives often get caught up in the "romance" of acquisitions. "Doing deals" is more fun that the mundane problems of running a company. Media coverage focuses on high-profile acquisitions. In addition, the selfish aspects of personal benefits of acquisitions covered in Chapter 6 emerge. Consequently, the most thorough pre-acquisition groundwork can be undermined by a CEO bent on an acquisition. It is important to establish a "checks and balances" system in which managers are challenged to support the acquisition decision.
