The M&A Landscape

Abstract: Abstract Before focusing on the role of IT and the CIO in M&As, it is helpful to consider the nature and scale of current M&A activities. These transactions are now commonplace but their impact on organisations and the people, both managing and working within them, can be dramatic. M&As are not the sole province of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Director of Finance. The managers of the other functional areas of the business also need to understand the implications of M&As. Although many CIOs have a technical background, their role also requires them to be a senior manager and a contributor to corporate strategy and decision-making.
