While Acquisitions Offer an Enticing Means for Entering a New

While acquisitions offer an enticing means for entering a new business,many fail to deliver on their promise,as they:

A) require successful integration of the culture,systems,and structure of the firm into the acquiring firm,which is a costly and time-consuming process.
B) require an in-depth understanding of the firm so as to develop potential strategic responses to the target market.
C) indicate that the premium paid for the company was far too high for what assets the acquiring firm purchased,and therefore failed the cost-of-entry test.
D) require managerial attention at the highest level and this cannot always be provided.
E) All of these.
