Abstract

This essay is going to provide an analysis of a failed acquisition between two similar non-profits. It will look into the goals, key criteria, and different components of the acquisition. The acquisition would have been Organization A acquiring Organization B, and this paper will delve into the reasoning behind why Organization A decided not to enter a full due diligence process and acquire Organization B. This acquisition would have been significant to public health as these two organizations provide services to and support children with disabilities.
