Overview: Within and throughout industries, there is clear evidence of a uniform consolidation pattern: Market fragmentation is followed by a potent wave of consolidation as companies strive to get bigger. Mergers decline once a certain degree of concentration has been reached. At that point, businesses focus on their core competencies until they no longer look for mergers or acquisition at the end of the consolidation wave, but choose alliances. When companies consider the patterns that merger and acquisition activity follows, and recognize where their industries stand on the consolidation curve, they can proactively set strategic acquisition targets, execute accordingly-and emerge as winners.
