Mergers and acquisitions are in the news on a daily basis. From small strategic acquisitions to blockbuster deals, they can make or break a company’s future and the fortunes of entrepreneurs.

Have you ever wondered what attracts buyers and what drives them away? What makes some companies acquisition targets while others never draw any interest?
