…them to switch from one model to another as government policies change. Digital Transformation’s Impact on M&A activity The fallout from COVID-19 is likely to include more mergers and acquisitions as the crisis increases the vulnerability of possible M&A targets. Here again, DT will play a defining role. According to one study by MIT Sloan Management Review, only 17% of digital platforms survive the competitive dynamics of markets. These failures will weaken the companies involved and make them more attractive M&A targets. Enterprises that are relatively new to DT could also be tempting targets. Digital platforms require a period of…
