Obtaining Luck at the Right Time
In highly volatile markets, a company's success or failure is often attributed to luck
As no one can foresee the twists and turns that the future holds, it is all a bit of a crap shoot. Turbulent markets produce opportunities and threats, whose timing, nature, and magnitude can't be predicted nor controlled by managers. In such a competitive casino, you place your bets and hope for the best.
The importance of luck in volatile situations is not new. Napoleon explained that he consistently won battles despite the disorder, uncertainty and friction of war because he picked lucky generals. Was Napoleon able to pick lucky generals any more than directors are able to pick lucky C.E.O.s?

Why You Should Pay Attention to A/R in a Business Sale
|
 Deals are still being done in this lean M&A environment but due diligence is more stringent and buyers want to buy companies that do not bleed red ink. This is certainly a positive trend (shouldn't M&A be about making smart deals?) However, when buying a cash-flow positive company, it can quickly become a negative cash flow company. How? Of course, sloppy integration is the main culprit.
