Mergers and acquisitions: The human capital challenges of acquiring in emerging markets

Emerging markets are the fastest-growing economic regions in the world. Companies looking to deliver growth for their shareholders need to consider their strategies with respect to emerging markets. One of the best ways for companies to participate in the growth in emerging markets is to be part of a transaction such as an acquisition or joint venture. But transactions in emerging markets pose unique challenges on the people side that must be addressed if the deal is going to succeed.

 

In our experience, a buyer or JV partner in emerging markets must:

  1. Understand the regulatory, political and economic environments

  2. Develop a leadership strategy reflecting local talent availability

  3. Implement a change strategy

  4. Understand and deal with the potentially significant cultural differences

  5. Deal with a lack of information (both quantitative and qualitative) on the target company

In this web briefing, we will discuss these issues in detail and offer guidance for overcoming these challenges. We will also share our experiences with our clients in resolving these issues, as well as some future trends in emerging markets.

 

Don’t miss this one-hour web briefing on 23 May starting at 12 noon ET. This is your chance to gain practical insight on addressing people issues when doing deals in the emerging markets.
