Mission to add value and deliver results

Article Abstract:

Businesses want strategic consulting firms to offer greater practical results rather than delivering ideas which appear good on paper but fail to translate to the working environment. The involvement of strategic consultants can help increase value when a firm is being sold, as shareholders believe they will get greater value for money. Mergers and acquisitions activities need a consultant to offer guidance as to important areas such as performance improvement or corporate strategy. Firms can pay up to $250,000 per month for the services of a consulting team.

Stand and deliver

Article Abstract:

The increase in shareholder involvement, in poorly performing companies, has been partly due to the greater number of shares held by institutional investors, such as pension funds. Pension fund managers are exerting their influence on the management of companies because they are also under greater pressure to give good returns. Shareholder activism is not likely to prevent deals occurring. The 1.85 billion pounds sterling acquisition of Premier Industrial by Farnell Electronics was publically opposed by shareholders yet still went ahead.
