M&A Survey Questions and Results

Sample Questionnaire for Mergers & Acquisitions

Results from 14 M&A survey questions that were asked in an email survey to serial acquirers who attended the Merger Integration Certification Workshop.

A few of the questions:

• In retrospect, should your company have managed your last integration faster or slower? 
• Is the compensation scheme of integration team members linked to M&A integration goals? 
• Which one of these tasks is most difficult for  your company to achieve when managing an M&A integration? 
• In which functional area do you see the biggest  need for improvement in terms of integration skills/capabilities given the focus of your merger activity? 
• Does your company perform any sort of cultural assessment in the process of acquiring/merging  other companies? 
• Is the compensation scheme of integration team members linked to integration goals?
• In your company, who receives M&A communications-related orientation/training?
