Value Proposition
Our proven PwC integration methodology has been refined during various large-and small-cap integrations in the pharmaceutical and life science industry during the last years.
One size does not fit all. Early in the diligence and integration planning effort, you should consider which integration archetype — transformational, absorption, tuck-in or standalone — will most favorably enable the deal value drivers and give you the greatest chance for success. Each has its pros and cons, so give each careful consideration.
With deep functional expertise in the PLS industry, we provide comprehensive support for functional integration throughout the deal cycle. Recognizing the importance of people and culture as well as making the integration approach more rewarding for both buyers and sellers is key when integrating smaller companies, like Biotechs.
PwC has distinctive integration experience focusing on critical value drivers and clear guiding principles as well as ensuring an agile approach across diverse types of acquisitions
