Abstract
We often hear of and talk about getting entities
and companies together that have synergy in many
areas to form a stronger company, but most mergers
and acquisitions fail despite the supposed synergy.
The challenge lies in execution. Many issues and
aspects have to be taken into consideration. Many
of these issues will stop the deal going through.
It takes the extra step and willingness for all
concerned to really see the larger picture and share
in the common future goal. In this talk, Mr. Ng
shares his personal experience and insights in making
M&A works in the case of ECS Holdings, a company
which he co-founded and subsequently brought to
IPO on SESDAQ.
