Podcast Series for M&A Practitioners

We recently came across a new resource for M&A practitioners – a series of podcasts by Booz & Company, the management consulting firm that split off last year from Booz Allen.

To date, Booz & Co has posted 24 podcasts on various M&A and restructurings topics – many of them related to books authored by staffers there – including: M&A in China, bank merger integration and mistakes to avoid in financial sector M&A. The latest podcast, called “Velocity and Impatience,” includes a discussion on whether the pace of business has become too fast, the reason deals are closing more quickly today and its implications for merger integration.
