Unlocking the full potential of M&A – Insights from Swiss transformational deal-makers

Our third M&A research project with the University of St. Gallen investigates how Swiss deal-makers create value in transactions.

The report used a mixed research method, which consisted of interviews with experienced strategy, transformation and integration & separation leaders and quality survey responses from over 50 Swiss active deal-makers. Insights and data from Deloitte M&A Trends 2022 and the Transformation Champions Study from Deloitte Germany were also used to contextualise the findings of the interviews and survey.
