Identifying Acquisition Targets

Hi all, I'm trying to learn more about M&A from a strategic/management consultancy lens (as opposed to a banking/financial one.) Specifically, understanding different strategies and criteria that are implemented in order to identify acquisition targets. Could anyone recommend any resources: books, vids, etc that could be useful for this? Asking for a case competition I'm taking part in with a pretty tight timeline: they just announced the case, which is entirely focused around pursuing a strategic acquisition.

Thanks in advance!

Management Consulting 7 Stories Review

“Daniel was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful in preparing my “Tell Me About Yourself” answer and seven interview stories. He went through my answers in great detail, providing constructive feedback and explaining everything very clearly. He always made sure I understood his suggestions before moving on. What I appreciated most was how he offered fresh perspectives and helped me better understand what interviewers are actually looking for. I gained so much from the session and really appreciated his guidance!”

Management Consulting Mock Interview

“Ashley’s industry expertise and depth of knowledge in product strategy are immediately clear. In every session, she breaks down complex management frameworks into easily digestible insights. Her communication style is direct, clear, and empathetic. Rather than giving vague or generic career advice, she provides highly actionable takeaways—including specific templates for stakeholder communications, prioritization frameworks, and real-world examples from her own leadership background that I was able to implement directly into my team's workflow the very next day. Furthermore, her kind, patient, and approachable demeanor made it extremely comfortable to discuss tough workplace scenarios and honest skill gaps without fear of judgment.”

M&A outlook episodes on the Goldman Sachs podcast discusses this. The most recent one had pretty good insights on acquisitions such as ESG for good PR or the trend of tech acquisitions by companies to adapt.

This is something I am interested in as well so let me know if you find anything.
