| Survey shows rising confidence toward economy and M&A Ernst & Young's second Capital Confidence Barometer (pdf, 701.9kb) - a survey of more than 800 global executives - updates findings from November, and shows greater optimism toward the market and increasing appetite for acquisition. Nearly 60% of respondents are likely or highly likely to acquire in the next 12 months, almost double that amount from November. Distressed assets are risky but full of opportunity The global economic slowdown has forced business leaders to examine new strategic options relative to financing, resources and revenue growth. Distressed asset investing represents a powerful, but risky, opportunity to optimize the use of capital for competitive advantage. Find out how to move forward to find opportunities and address the risk (pdf, 887.7kb). Why capital matters for competitive advantage Uncertainty is the only certainty in today’s market. In our new study, Why capital matters, we surveyed 490 senior executives from 32 countries, and show that it’s how you manage your capital agenda today that will define your competitive position tomorrow. What's next for corporate development? Opportunity and risk in the financial crisis In these unprecedented times, companies need to look at how transactions can shape their future business. CDOs (corporate development officers) play an increasingly-important role as strategic advisors, actively reviewing portfolios, divesting non-core assets on accelerated timelines and pursuing acquisitions to transform market share. Our latest report (pdf, 5mb) reveals that now, more than ever before, CDOs should be at the heart of corporate strategy. Divesting in turbulent times: Achieving value in a buyer's market Divesting has always been an important part of corporate development but in today's economic climate it is absolutely central to corporate strategy. Our study (pdf, 17mb) of over 300 companies reveals that more than 50% of businesses are considering selling assets as part of their response to the downturn. Meanwhile, buyers with cash have a rare opportunity to acquire businesses that would not normally be sold at current valuations. Optimizing the corporate portfolio in a buyer’s market Business leaders, investors and academics agree that actively managing the corporate portfolio adds substantial shareholder value and should be a critical business competency. In today’s highly uncertain environment, companies can not afford to be without a well-executed process for deciding which businesses to buy and sell, and when – the essence of portfolio management. |
