Abstract: Abstract In Chap. 6 , we have established how the portfolio and growth analyses can be used to derive a corporate portfolio strategy and in particular the target configuration of the portfolio. In many cases, reaching this target portfolio will require the divestiture of individual existing businesses and the growth into new businesses. We have already introduced acquisitions and alliances as two basic pathways of growth, as well as their specific advantages and disadvantages (Sect. 5.2 ). In the current chapter, we will give an overview of the process of conducting such corporate transactions. We will introduce different deal types and provide empirical evidence on the chances of value creation. Based on our experience and the literature, we will present the key success factors for improving the odds of successful transactions and for the transformation of the corporate portfolio.
