In the recommendations section, you will decide how your company should proceed (see the Final Project Guidelines and Rubric document for full details). You will look at the risks associated with the recommendation, such as political integration, cultural issues, resistance from shareholders, tax implications, and regulatory issues.

How does the deal provide value, considering the objective you are trying to achieve?
What can you do to make sure the merger goes smoothly and that shareholder value is achieved?
