Intellicast S4E43: A Deep Discussion On MRX Mergers and Acquisitions

Welcome back to Intellicast! On today’s final episode of season 4, Brian Lamar and Producer Brian are once again joined by Andrew DeCilles to talk about some market research news and other goings-on in the industry.

[1:15] The episode kicks off with the guys reminiscing a bit about the last 4 seasons as we are about to enter season 5.  Everyone gives their best Intellicast memory, as well a few memories of episodes we’d like to forget!

[8:03] After a stroll down memory lane, the guys switch gears and take a bit of a different approach to the news than they normally do.  They discuss the increase in mergers and acquisitions over the last couple of months and discuss the impact it has had not only recently, but also how this trend is likely to continue into 2022.  It also leads us down a path of the funding behind companies and how it could lead to a battle behind the scenes of what is right for research versus what is right for the stakeholder. It is a super interesting conversation.

In the last segment of today’s episode, the guys each give updates on what they have planned for the holidays – everything from family time, activities to finishing up a quarantine (yes, listen to find out the details).

Thanks for listening!  Be sure to tune in to our “Best of” episodes over the next couple of weeks!

See you in 2022.
