Reflection on Milestone 2 Project
In order to complete the course project, which calls for analyzing two potential
acquisition targets, Companies A and B, I have carefully considered the many attributes that each
company has while adhering to the assignment's goals and requirements. As I dug deeper into the
intricacies of these organizations, a number of significant elements emerged, which led to the
development of my opinions and concerns regarding the acquisition justification, the business
environment, and the executive summary.
Regarding the rationale for the acquisition, I considered the implications of choosing
between Companies A and B strategically. Strong and well-established in the aviation industry,
Company A stood out for its outstanding financial standing and strong market presence.
Company A's consistent sales growth, strong profit margins, and effective internal processes
helped it present a strong case for acquisition. On the other hand, Company B had serious
challenges with regard to the efficiency of its business operations, customer satisfaction, and
financial stability. Despite Company B's apparent inclination towards innovation, the associated
risks were substantial. This was especially evident given the company's high employee turnover
rate and low net profit margin.
One of the most enlightening things I learned from finishing the Milestone Two
project was the detailed analysis of the two different companies. Significant insights were gained
from the assessment of Company A's internal processes, learning and growth perspective,
customer/market perspective, internal financial viewpoint, and other perspectives. These insights
were then utilized to inform crucial business choices. Similarly, the application of the Balanced
Scorecard to analyze the companies revealed their strengths and weaknesses in these critical
areas. This research broadened my understanding of the company and made me reflect on
3
important issues about their different development trajectories and prospects across different
sectors.
Working through the stages provided me with a systematic framework for assessing the
businesses. This provided me with an opportunity to learn more about the challenges that
companies in the aviation industry face and the intricacy of the industry itself. A thorough
understanding of each company's operating environment was obtained through the in-depth
examination of its financial data, internal processes, customer satisfaction, and growth strategies.
In particular, the risk analysis exposed the aviation industry's volatility and emphasized the need
for strategic decision-making and risk-mitigation methods.
The acquisition option that Company A is offering has the best chance of succeeding. The
business satisfies all project criteria and expectations, as demonstrated by its financial stability,
strategic objectives, and proactive approach to addressing industry challenges. Not only would
the purchase of Company A improve the company's standing in the marketplace, but it would
provide a foundation for future expansion and the development of new products.
