Abstract

This paper aims to explore the pivotal role of investment banks in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and how they influence decision-making, success rates, and risk management. Through a detailed review of the existing literature, the study highlights the critical contributions of investment banks to corporate M&A activities. Investment banks, with their deep financial expertise, are able to accurately evaluate the worth of target companies, providing acquirers with reliable pricing and valuation guidance. Their extensive industry networks and human resources further aid companies in identifying high-quality M&A opportunities, thereby expanding their market presence. Beyond identifying opportunities, investment banks play an essential role in the post-M&A integration process. By offering strategic guidance, they help optimize resource allocation, promote efficient integration, and enhance synergies between merging entities. Moreover, investment banks assist in risk management, ensuring that companies navigate the complex landscape of mergers with greater confidence. Overall, their professional services are indispensable in increasing the success rates of M&A transactions and improving long-term profitability and operational outcomes for acquiring firms.
