Bratislava, 12 January 2012
New research released by Ernst & Young finds that organizations which undertook a series (three or more) of cross-border transactions beat the average market return by 67 per cent over a five year period from making the deal – a clear sign that mergers and acquisitions (M&A) have added value. The Rise of the Cross-Border Transaction: The Serial Transactor Advantage is an analysis of 332,532 acquisitions realized by organizations over the last fifteen years. The analysis, conducted in association with the Cass Business School, of nearly 3,000 of these series of deals, also shows a clear difference in returns between those series of transactions focused primarily domestically, which beat the market by 24% over five years, and cross–border strategies, which produce nearly three times as much value. - Global companies in a hurry to adopt new technologies and media, leaving threats to security as an afterthought (pdf, 119kb)
Bratislava, 3 January 2012
In the rush to “digitize” their businesses with new technologies and move into the increasingly borderless world of cloud computing and social media, global organizations are encountering a growing gap between the needs of business and the capacity to deal with new and complex security threats, according to Ernst & Young’s 14th annual Global Information Security Survey. The survey of 1,700 organizations worldwide found that 72% of respondents are aware of an increasing level of risk due to increased external threats. At the same time, however, only about a third of respondents have updated their information security strategy in the past 12 months.
