Overview: Now that you have done research on your company (bidder), it is time to choose a target company. You will research the provided targets and select the one that is the best choice for your organization, based on the objective that was provided and discussed in Milestone One. In addition to the industry and competitors of the target company, the management structure will be examined. What is the structure of upper management and the board of directors? What is the history of their behavior? Do they act in ways that are in the shareholders’ best interest? It is important to know this information as it will not only help to address agency costs, but also inform your overall decision (i.e., whether to merge, acquire, or neither) for your final project.

Identify a target company that you wish to pursue, and explain how it could meet the provided objectives. B.

C. Describe the background of the target company. Include information about the industry in which they are associated, products and services they provide, and major competitors, using specific examples. D.
