Automation in M&A

“In M&A, you have to make a thousand decisions which are not typical day-to-day decisions. But as soon as you have proper data, you can use them to augment the information for better decision making.” - Karl Michael Popp. 

As an ambassador for M&A automation, Dr. Karl believes that the traditional approach to strategy often lacks structure and consistency and is clouded with bias. Software and automation, on the other hand, mitigate all these risks when provided with proper data. This is why he broke down strategy into smaller parts and came up with a structured model.

In this episode, Dr. Karl Michael Popp, Senior Director, Corporate Development at SAP, discusses automation in M&A.
