Abstract
Accurate and rapid analysis of the risks and future benefits of an acquisition is necessary in today''s market. The planning of corporate strategy with a view toward the economic and technological environment is the initial step of the analysis. The subsequent search and screen process establishes a list of candidates. The financial evaluation process includes an analysis of the worth and future value of both companies according to several hypothetical scenarios. The "discounted cash flow" (DCF) evaluation technique is useful because it includes the acquisition''s added cash flow and the cost of capital. Use of such evaluation techniques can determine maximum acceptable acquisition prices quickly and serve as a catalyst for reexamining a company''s overall strategy.
