August Vistas: “Anatomy of an Acquisition”
With Villager Dick Smallwood
 
The very personal tale of one person living through the ups and downs of selling his company to a major accounting firm—recounted with humor and passion by Village Member Dick Smallwood. Some relevant questions to be addressed:
 
• Why would a successful small management consulting firm sell itself to a large consulting firm?
• What roles do personalities play in the negotiations and after-sale business arrangements?
• How do the ethical standards of the two parties affect the outcome?
• How does the legal framework governing business agreements help or hinder the parties involved?
• Who are the winners and losers in an acquisition like this one?
