Abstract:In this thesis we address the research gap on the use of business intelligence in the pre-deal mergers and acquisitions (M&A) phase. The market of M&A is growing and has an untapped potential. On behalf of Victa Business Intelligence, we want to increase the limited use of decision-support systems in this pre-deal phase in M&A. The company realizes that they can potentially provide their customers with an extra product through the development of such system. We develop a conceptual framework that integrates the fields of mergers and acquisitions, decision support systems, and benchmarking theory. This conceptual framework is the foundation for the conceptual design of the dashboard. Which consist of a target selection screen, a cockpit and pages for further analyses, the cockpit serves as a starting point for valuation and due diligence steps in the pre-deal M&A process. The analysis pages allow the user to delve deeper into the aspects of M&A. This results in lower cost during the pre-deal M&A phase, because the time it takes to complete the phase and the level of information is higher. This approach results in a more data driven approach to decision-making in mergers and acquisitions and gives a practical solution to the problem we want to address, namely that there is limited use in the M&A process.
