Mergers & Acquisitions The Focus Of The March OPEN MINDS Management Newsletter: Features Executive Perspectives From Centerstone, Franklin Management Resources & Oaks Integrated Care Executives

Gettysburg, PA, March 26, 2018 -- The March edition of the OPEN MINDS management newsletter explores how partnerships, mergers, acquisitions, and affiliations are shaping the complex consumer market. The issue includes a review of the key macro market developments driving the flux of mergers and acquisitions in the health and human service sector; an executive framework for merging, acquiring another organization, or being acquired; a market snapshot of the year’s most influential mergers; and insight interviews with leading executives who have made the decision to merge or acquire other organizations.

“The strategic question for any executive team of a specialty provider organization is whether their organization has the market positioning for a sustainable future in that new role. With that question comes the issues of scale and financial sustainability. Almost every executive team is considering collaboration through mergers, acquisitions, affiliations, and partnerships to keep their competitive advantage,” said OPEN MINDS, Chief Executive Officer, Monica E. Oss. “This issue of the OPEN MINDS Management Newsletter is focused on the strategic implications of this increase in collaboration activity and provides executive insights on the path to sustainability in the changing market.”
