Mergers and Acquisitions

Negotiation is a scary prospect for many and when it’s a merger or acquisition that you’re negotiating the stakes are high.

The best negotiation happens when both sides get what they want, so the blustering bully of the negotiation stereotype is most likely inexperienced, floundering and easily countered. It all comes down to a few simple rules.

This course takes you through the negotiation process, making sure you are well prepared, that you understand what will come up in the initial stages of the negotiation, and know what’s needed to finalise the deal.
