Abstract

This article presents a framework for assessing IT integration risk in acquisitions. Using the experience of Trelleborg AB, a serial acquirer, we illustrate the framework's merits for managing high-risk acquisitions and identifying low-risk acquisitions. Based on insights gained from Trelleborg, we provide recommendations for CIOs on assessing and managing IT-related risk in acquisitions.Click here for podcast summary (mp3)Click here for free 2-page executive summary (pdf)Click here for free presentation slides (pptx)
