Programmatic acquisition: Enhancing strategic capabilities through mergers and acquisitions

Fatih Ogun, Akbank's Head of Strategy, explains how programmatic acquisitions provide companies with a strategic path to enhance their capabilities, break into new markets and drive innovation.

In an era where agility and strategic foresight define the winners in the global market, companies are increasingly turning to programmatic acquisition strategies as a pivotal tool for growth and innovation. This approach, characterized by a series of smaller, strategically aligned acquisitions, contrasts with the traditional blockbuster deals, offering a pathway to learn and integrate new capabilities, technologies and talents into the core business, thereby enhancing its competitive edge and operational efficiency.
