The Insight Room - Week 5: Mergers & Acquisitions Simplified

Week 5 focuses on Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) — one of the most important yet misunderstood areas of commercial awareness. This session explains why companies merge with or acquire others, and what these deals really mean beyond the headlines.

What you’ll learn in Week 5:

• Why companies choose to merge or acquire other businesses
• The impact of M&A on employees, consumers, and shareholders
• How mergers and acquisitions shape industry competition and strategy
• A real-world case study exploring a recent global merger

Why this matters:
M&A regularly features in interviews, case studies, and assessment centres, especially for consulting, finance, law, and corporate roles. Understanding the commercial rationale behind deals helps you discuss them clearly and confidently.
