PWC forecast strong M&A in 2014

PWC report:
“As companies continue to look to talent, technology, and portfolio additions to keep up with the pace of change, we expect to see the recent strength of activity in the closing months of 2013 carry forward into 2014, but with subdued levels of large-platform acquisitions.
One thing is certain: disruptive technologies continue to drive change and opportunities at an increasing rate. While some companies have publicly stated their intent to pull away from a pure M&A focus and drive more organic growth, rapid change and short product lifecycles drive a need for continuous innovation, and we expect to see technology M&A play the critical role for larger technology enterprises.
We believe several areas of innovation will drive increased M&A in 2014, where the key theme will be to enable intelligence for everything, across industries. User experience, new revenue models, and process efficiencies will be at the heart of what technology companies want to accomplish.”
