Acquisition: Costco acquiring Sears
1) Under the assumption that your organization (the acquiring company) is in a growth mode, identify an acquisition target that is in keeping with your organization’s mission and strategy.
2) Perform the industry analysis.
3) Prepare a brief written proposal to the executive management team explaining your potential choice (or choices) for acquisition: overview of potential acquisition and why it makes sense to the parent. This is the “who, what, where, why, when, and potentially how.” You will want to consider many factors, including your industry as a whole and the current and expected economic climate.
4) Course Project: Executive Reports Part A—Internal Management
Prepare an executive-level report related to the target acquisition company’s financial and operational strengths and weaknesses that addresses the acquiring company’s internal management team. Key words are synergistic, opportunistic, and financial.
5) Report on what your research into the target company’s current financial and operating status is (this should include a financial statement review and examination of the footnotes in their annual report), and report it to your executive team and any key internal personnel. There should also be some consideration into how what is discovered makes the target a good (or bad) acquisition at this time.
6) Course Project: Executive Reports Part B—External Stakeholders
Prepare an executive-level report related to the target acquisition company’s financial and operational strengths and weaknesses that addresses the acquiring company’s external stakeholders. Key words are synergistic, opportunistic, and financial. This should reflect much of the information gathered for the internal management report, but it needs to be tailored to fit the parent company’s external stakeholders.
