The alternative to doing a deal my friend, is not doing a deal.
JV, minor equity acquisition, strategic alliance, partnership (with or without equity), contractual venture engagement (including things like outsourcing for manufacturing). That's pretty much it. Any more context on the company or industry he was asked about?
Thanks!
Wasn't really much context. He was asked about the possible reasons a company might engage in M&A and then about any possible alternatives
You should read a paper by https://www.researchgate.net/publication/8467182_When_to_Ally_When_to_A…</a">Dyer et al (this one I liked should be free) which explains this very well. They only look at a limited sample of collaboration strategies but they do a great job of finding a "template" for when to M&A and when not to. Let me know if you can't access it and I can find another source.
