Merger and Acquisitions

Having a strategy for Merger's and Acquisitions is always important for a company to have.  There is always room to expand and grow for any organization and having a plan already in place helps for when an opportunity presents itself.  If there is a plan already in place then there is no need to rush around when the opportunity arises. 

Yeti could merge and acquire any number of companies.  I think one of the best mergers they could do would be with a camping company.  Their coolers are already used by a lot of outdoorsy customers so this merger would not be a hard transition.  A company that they could acquire would be another cooler company, one that is a close competitor of theirs so that the joint group  could come close to taking over the market.

Either way, it is always better to have a plan in place so that no one is caught off-guard.  If there is no plan in place then sometimes when an opportunity presents itself it is one that has to be passed up because there is not enough time to create a plan.
