Corporate Accounting Systems - Part B

There are many benefits associated with acquiring a business in same industry. The primary advantage is that acquiror company can create economies of scale, which can be achieved by increasing production by reducing production costs. The other advantage is that company can implement same marketing and sales strategies for the new company, which can lead to reduced costs and boosting productivity.

However, if the business being acquired is from a different industry, it has many challenges associated with it.

Since, the acquiror company may not have experience in the industry of acquiree company, it may not be able to fully leverage the potential advantages of the acquisition which may even cause the performance of the acquiror company to go down after the acquisition. It may cause serious setback to acquiror company in terms of profitability. To overcome this challenge, acquiror company may consider to hire senior people in the management who have the relevant experience in the industry in which acquiree company operates, so that they may provide suitable guidance and advice to senior management in terms of business decisions.

Another disadvantage is that acquisition may shift the focus from the core business of acquiror and which may lead to reduced performance. This disadvantage may be overcome by doing proper resource planning for different verticals and budgetary exercises. Prompt action should be taken for significant deviations from the budget. The common costs should be appropriately and correctly allocated to different verticals of the business.
