- M&A transactions, bring separate companies together to form larger ones. A merger is a combination of two companies; an acquisition is where one company buys another.

- The wave of mergers and acquisitions enables businesses to achieve significant competitive advantage in the market, thus making M&A the fastest tactical preference for global players as well as start-ups. The highly competitive global environment has made Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A), a common phenomenon for big and small businesses throughout the Globe. M&A deals are an effective growth strategy for companies that help in:

- Multiplying capabilities,

- Sharing proficiency, and

- Enhancing market share

- The executive handling M& A in an I-banking firm plays a pivotal role in the process of merger and/or acquisition between two companies. While mergers and acquisitions are considered an essential part of a company's growth strategy and carried out for beneficial reasons, a messed up and weak understanding of issues often stands as an obstruction that results in failed mergers. Thus, the candidate should have the capability to play a key role in managing all crises as well as disputes that may crop up in an organization, as and when the process of merger and acquisition sets off.

- Analyzing Organizational Cultures-The M&A executive helps figure out if the organizational culture of two companies partnering together are compatible enough to be meshed as one. 

- When two corporate cultures integrate, it is the responsibility of the respective human resources to enable a smooth transition by assisting the employees to comprehend and embrace a new organizational culture. However, this may turn into a daunting task as many M&As fail awfully owing to cultural disparity, clash in leadership, need of management commitment, absence of common objectives, or weak change management, which may turn into a matter of grave concern.

- Boosting the Morale of Anxious Employees- During the process of M&A, some employees may be reluctant to adapt to the new work culture thus, creating a serious culture clash. It is a common human tendency to resist change and since M&As bring in an element of apprehensions and change for the employees of both merging companies, Executive (M&A) in coordination with the Human Resources in both the organizations should act as a comforting factor and take measures for sorting out the transition process for employees..

- A major challenge for merging companies is that of building and maintaining viable businesses in a rapidly changing marketplace. The candidate must have the capability to recognize the core elements of the businesses and how to maintain a viable fit between their stakeholders, processes, resources, and organization capabilities and culture.
