Abstract: This chapter discusses exploitation in M&A, emphasising incremental learning and efficiency-driven approaches to leveraging existing capabilities, resources and synergies. It addresses challenges such as target identification, valuation and integration, while highlighting the risks of overemphasising exploitation, which might lead to strategic drift and overlooked integration complexities.
