When a global company tries to grow in size, only organic growth is not sufficient to help it reach scale. It has to take the path of inorganic growth also to keep ahead of competition. This article will elaborate on the critical factors of growth and why corporations fail to pull out successful acquisitions. Let us start with an example and try to take a step by step approach to see some of the critical factors of global acquisitions. Quaker Oats acquired Snapple, a soft drink manufacturer, for $1.7 billion in 1994 and then sold it to $300 million in 1997.

Indecisive integration and a clash of management styles were reported. What caused a professional company like Quaker Oats to come out unsuccessful in this acquisition. Value destruction is attributed as one of the major reasons why this acquisition failed. Generally when an acquisition takes place the strategy is drawn in the comfortble boardrooms of the corporate world without considering many real time factors.

The major focus of these strategies are how much revenue can be generated for the parent company and how much growth can be achieved. The factors which may skip these discussions or are given less stress is the human factor. One of the most critical factor of a global acquisition is the human factor. When two companies from different countries and different business dynamics merge it makes it very critical to bring the employees and management on the same plane.

It is imperative that a successful acquisition is followed up by a successful implementation. The managers who implement the strategies are rarely at the board meetings that happen before the acquisition. They may also lack knowledge of implementing strategies and in these scenarios the implementation can be seriously handicapped. In the 20th century management researchers have put these corporate boardroom decisions under scanner and tried to get an answer to unsuccessful acquisitions.

As mentioned the human factor is all bringing about two different groups of people with different mindsets from two different firms and integrating them. Their goals, objective and aspirations all need to be taken care of in an effective manner with sincerity. The new management needs to take a great deal of responsibility and communicate to the employees that the acquisition has been done in the broader interest of the two companies and everyone will benefit from it.
