Webinar 146: Japanese-European M&As: Cross-cultural challenges and keys to post-M&A success

October 22 2019

22-10-19 | 10:30 - 11:30 AM CET

Do you want strategic and pragmatic advice on how to deal with Japanese post-M&A challenges?

Despite 2018 being a record year in Japanese outbound M&A activity, only 11% of Japanese companies admit to a successful post-M&A process. 'Who are the real stakeholders?'; 'Decision-making is very ambiguous’; ’What is their plan?' These reoccurring questions from top executives across a wide range of European companies indicate some of the underlying frustrations and challenges. The background for this webinar is a recent research project which has involved work with three major Japanese corporations and their international acquisitions.

The webinar is targeted to European companies involved in (or considering) Japanese M&As and seeking to increase the chances of a positive outcome.

Registration deadline: 21/10/2019
