Abstract

CIOs are often required to develop and implement merger and acquisition strategies to produce revenue and growth (Battey, 2000). Literature published between 1986 and 2011 is examined to identify the growing role of IT in the merger and acquisition process as a means of decreasing risk and project costs, and increasing corporate synergies and project success. The goal is to demonstrate the value of IT as part of the early core deal-making team.
