AA61 - Experiences in Corporate Buyouts (Mergers & Acquisitions)

On this episode, Brian Orlando and Om Patel talk through their experiences in corporate buyouts (aka. a merger or acquisition). Why do they typically happen? How do you know they're about to happen? What to expect when they do happen?

...and, most importantly, what we've seen in our combined 8 experiences going through M&As on both the acquiring side and the acquiree side. Also, acquiree isn't a real word, but then, aren't all words made up?
