My third blogpost is going to handle our subject of company mergers and how this big scandal we are having will affect on\u00a0business\u00a0acquisitions\u00a0in Finland.

I will take a perspective of my main subject: clients and stakeholders<\/strong>, so let\u2019s get going!<\/p>\n

I\u00a0put\u00a0a\u00a0picture\u00a0of\u00a0this\u00a0article\u00a0in\u00a0the\u00a0blog\u00a0if\u00a0you\u00a0want\u00a0to\u00a0take\u00a0a look.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately there was no online article<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After I recovered from this huge initial shock, I decided once again to look outside of the box. There has to be something good in the middle of chaos as well. When everything around you has burned down, there is a chance for new things to grow and prosper.<\/p>\n

What comes to acquisitions, this situation will open up new chances to grow. I don’t know why I almost was grieved when I read this ”This crisis gives the vultures something to buy”. Why on earth are we taking this negative point of view.<\/p>\n

Maybe we should think that these \u2019\u2019vultures\u2019\u2019 will give an exit for these corporations which indeed face huge financial challenges at the moment. We cannot affect on what is happening right now.
\nThere is a saying: buy or be bought<\/strong>. I think it means that you are going to face an acquisition at some point no matter if you wanted it or not. At the latest the retirement will take care of it. I think in this situation it is better to be bought than float for bankruptcy. I do not want to belittle anyones lifework, it is not what I mean. In this situation rational decisions just have to be made.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t want to drown with the ship, or do we?
\n<\/strong>
\nEffects\u00a0can\u00a0also\u00a0be\u00a0seen\u00a0when\u00a0we\u00a0take\u00a0a look at business on a\u00a0daily\u00a0baisis.
\nClients and stakeholders can be in trouble because of the situation as well. Ilona Hiila posted a great blogpost about the importance of an online shop for not only the customers but for B2B-sales as well. I will grab to that and say that this B2B-sales is going to be a second big thing that we should handle. Hiila says also that this change is going to be permanent and I agree on that.<\/p>\n

In the future we should be able to work with our clients and stakeholders inline so that we do not have to meet anyone. Thisway we can minimize the risk of infection. Most of the cooperation is happening this way already, but from now on all communication should be happening without any human connection.<\/p>\n

You\u00a0can\u00a0read\u00a0the\u00a0whole\u00a0post\u00a0here.\u00a0Press this<\/a><\/p>\n

On\u00a0daily\u00a0basis\u00a0this\u00a0means\u00a0that\u00a0the\u00a0clients\u00a0cannot\u00a0be\u00a0visiting\u00a0your
\noffice\u00a0bringing\u00a0any\u00a0of\u00a0those\u00a0receipts\u00a0or\u00a0other\u00a0vouchers\u00a0or\u00a0forms. I\u00a0think\u00a0it\u00a0does\u00a0not\u00a0make\u00a0sense\u00a0to\u00a0touch\u00a0a\u00a0concrete\u00a0document\u00a0at all.\u00a0I\u00a0would\u00a0consider\u00a0\u2019\u2019receipt\u00a0for\u00a0accounting\u2019\u2019 -applications\u00a0for\u00a0example.\u00a0If\u00a0you\u00a0are\u00a0not\u00a0yet\u00a0using\u00a0these\u00a0electric\u00a0signatures, I\u00a0would\u00a0recommend\u00a0to\u00a0take\u00a0it to\u00a0your\u00a0daily\u00a0use.\u00a0Better\u00a0safe\u00a0than\u00a0sorry,\u00a0right?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

With\u00a0stakeholders\u00a0this\u00a0means\u00a0that\u00a0you\u00a0should\u00a0not\u00a0be\u00a0close\u00a0to\u00a0suppliers\u00a0and
\navoid contacts as much as possible. Not all encounters with stakeholders can be avoided, but you can prepare well to those situations by our own actions. With those stakeholders that you absolutely have to meet in person, the parties should discuss the implementation of safety operations and meetings. If these changes are going to be here to stay, we just kind of have to develop new ways of working.<\/p>\n

I am asking: How do you plan to develop your business during this pandemic and after that?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stay safe!<\/p>\n
