New York, NY (PRWEB) June 25, 2009 -- Mergercast by Booz & Company has released Episode 24 -- Velocity and Impatience.
In this episode, Tom Flaherty, a Senior Partner at Booz & Company, explores the fast pace of today's business environment, why deals are closing more quickly and the impact this can have on merger integration. He explains the need for interlocking integration plans: immediate, 100 day and 1,000 day.
"Velocity and impatience are driven by many factors, including the existence of more money in the marketplace, more serial acquirers, and the pressure among participants to meet high expectations quickly," says Flaherty.
Throughout the episode, he references the book "Merge Ahead: Mastering the Five Enduring Trends of Artful M&A" (www.businessfuture.com/fbs/mergeahead), published on June 12 by McGraw Hill and authored by Booz & Company's Gerald Adolph and Justin Pettit.
