The Leading Edge - September 2011
In the seventh issue of The Leading Edge we tackle the complexities around carbon pricing, the impact on transactions and how it will be vital to adopt new thinking and refreshed M&A strategies in a carbon-constrained economy, where asset values continue to shift.
Keeping on the topic of M&A, we discuss why it is becoming increasingly important for prospective sellers to adapt their divestment processes to cater for the unique needs of Chinese buyers and also why M&A teams should now be harnessing the power of data analytics in order to gain a distinct competitive advantage.
Over the last 6 months, many companies throughout Australasia have been facing challenging conditions. In this edition we also investigate the slow, but steady process of rebuilding Christchurch, how companies in the non mining sectors are managing a soaring dollar, cautious consumers and a fragile global market, and lastly we consider the challenges in providing affordable housing.
