Over the next four episodes, we will use the latest deal announcements to better understand why M&A happens.

We will look at textbook (and non-textbook) deal rationale for acquiring, and selling, which will help you nail interviews and assessment centres.

Each week we will look at three key reasons why a company might go on the hunt for acquisitions, and one reason why a company might be ready to sell.

In the first episode of the series, we will be looking at Economies of Scale and Reacting to Competition – using Shein’s acquisition of Missguided and Google’s $2bn investment in AI company Anthropic.

We will also be looking at the recent wave of mega deals in the Oil and Gas sector to see how the weight of cold-hard cash acts as a reason to go out and find some acquisitions.

Finally, we will be using Intel and Blackberry to discuss the logic of spinoffs and the rationale behind selling the family silver.
