Managing Growth through Acquisitions & Integration
Description
Mergers and acquisitions offer great potential for strategic growth through synergies and creating efficiencies in operations, market access, and effective management of human resources. In reality, most of these fail, causing destruction of value and financial loss. Often, it’s the lack of experience and sensitivity of executives and board members that lead to unfavorable outcomes.
Merging Realities immersive experience offers learners the opportunity to play an active role in the evolving rich narrative of two companies going through an acquisition process. Learners take on the role of strategic advisors to either the acquiring company - Global Energy Corp, or to the target - Terra Tech Industries.

Through this experienceת learners improve their knowledge and skills, and acquire critical tools to improve the chances of successful growth strategies.
