Mergers and acquisitions are transformative opportunities for growth, innovation, and market expansion. Yet, behind the headlines, the reality is sobering: 60% of M&A deals fail to achieve their intended goals, with integration missteps cited as the primary culprit. Why do so many promising deals falter after the ink dries?
