(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 19, 2006 ) PRINCETON, N.J. - David Wanetick, Managing Director of IncreMental Advantage and Due Diligence Digest said, “Our research indicates that the most successful corporate acquirers source their own deals. They are constantly on the prowl for accretive acquisitions and do not overly rely on investment bankers to recommend companies that they should acquire. Adding another layer of advisors—such as investment bankers—is one cause of deals going awry. The best practice companies dominate the M&A process from beginning to end. They bring outside advisors in only for very targeted tasks, and they rely on investment bankers very rarely.”Mr. Wanetick continued, “A common mistake that companies make is to compensate their M&A teams based on the volume of transactions that they execute. Such policies incentivize the M&A team to do large deals without sufficient due diligence. Adopting compensation schemes that instill accountability among the ranks of M&A professionals invariably boosts returns on mergers and acquisitions activities.” These and similar issues are the focus of a survey currently underway entitled Why Mergers Fail. M&A, senior finance, business development and corporate strategy professionals employed by non-service oriented companies are invited to participate in this survey which is available at:http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=517682421288Such survey participants are entitled to a $100 discount on IncreMental Advantage’s Mergers and Acquisitions Due Diligence Conference which will take place in San Francisco on April 17-18, 2007.
