High volatility requires effective decisions
How will industries and markets develop in the future? This key question has a significant impact on strategic business decisions. However, it is becoming increasingly difficult to make accurate predictions. In today’s globally connected world, megatrends like climate change and digitization are causing complexity and uncertainty to increase. How do more than 150 top decision-makers from Austria, Germany and Switzerland view their industries and markets? And what conclusions have they reached? Our exclusive three-part PwC Deals Study gives you answers to these questions and many more.
“Modern strategic approaches enable top decision-makers to react to a very dynamic market environment in an agile and flexible way.”
Part 1: Optimism on uncertain grounds
Corporate management in volatile times: There is strong consensus that global markets are experiencing increased volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA). How do corporate leaders perceive the current market environment and future prospects? What impact does this have on their strategy process? Our study comes to surprising results.
Part 2: Mastering uncertainty and volatility
Mastering uncertainty and volatility: The second part of our latest Deals study analyzes how the perception of market structures and market prospects affects the company portfolio and the actions of decision-makers. In focus: Portfolio management and the control of operational corporate structures.
Part 3: Unlocking value through carve-outs
A strategic approach to carve-outs: In an increasingly uncertain and complex market environment, strategic carve-outs are getting more important. The third part of the study examines the role of carve-outs as a strategic instrument – and how decision-makers can significantly increase the success of carve-outs.
