ITPEC IP October 2023 Question 82
ITPEC IP October 2023 — Question 82 of 100
M&A can accelerate business development by acquiring another company that possesses functions, technology, customers, people, or market access the buyer lacks. Mergers and acquisitions combine ownership or control and may achieve growth or capability expansion faster than building everything internally.
Answer (d)
Why not others:
- (a) describes value-chain analysis
- (b) describes a divisional organization that delegates strategy and responsibility by business or region
- (c) describes business process re-engineering, or BPR, often supported by IT
Key rule: M&A acquires or combines companies to obtain capabilities, markets, scale, or synergy; it is not an analysis framework or internal process-redesign method.
