• Conglomerates seeking a flying start in s<strong>of</strong>tware<br />
development, by buying an existing operation;<br />

acquisition strategies and the bottlenecks and maturity <strong>of</strong> the<br />
company’s markets.<br />
Size up the growth potential <strong>of</strong> the market and the company<br />
and, if these are modest, find alternative strategies for buyers to<br />
generate further growth. If the buyer will not see how to make<br />
the company more valuable, it will <strong>of</strong>fer a lot less for it.<br />
