Recommendation: Merger, Acquisition or Strategic Alliance?

Section IV Recommendations

The write up is a continuation of a paper which I have attached. The companies are AbbVie and Bausch Health. I think the paper points towards the do not acquire, instead form strategic alliance option in section IV., A., 3. The write up will be done according to the attached rubric of the following section (3-4 pages in length): IV. Recommendations: In this section, you will recommend how the company should proceed through either a merger, acquisition, or neither, and support this using your research and analysis as specific examples. You will need to consider the risk assessments you have conducted when supporting your recommendation. A. Recommend one of the following approaches for your organization, and justify why this is the most appropriate strategy: 1. Merge with the target company. 2. Acquire the target company. 3. Do not merge with or acquire the target company at this time. You may use do not acquire, instead form strategic alliance. B. Explain the risks associated with your recommendation above and support how this selection best mitigates these risks to your organization. C. Based on all previous decisions, explain how this deal structure will bring value to your organization. I will also need an executive summary of the entire paper (1-2 pages in length) I will need the assignment completed by September 25, 2021. Please reach out if you have any questions.
