Mergers and Acquisitions Basics: All You Need To Know

Mergers and Acquisitions Basics: All You Need To Know
This book provides a “macro” overview of mergers and acquisitions, business alliances, and corporate restructuring.  It concentrates on the processes and their players–investment bankers, business brokers, accountants, attorneys, tax experts, managers, investors, and others–and a dynamic series of actions with often-unforeseen implications. Writtten for those who seek a broadly-based view of M and A, this heavily illustrated mix of theoretical and empirical work eschews descriptions of individual events in favor of presenting an integrated portrait of a team effort in which the skills of various participants combine to achieve consensus among the parties to the negotiation..

• Describes a broad view of the mergers and acquisition process to illustrate agents’ interactions
• Simplifies without overgeneralizing
• Bases conclusions on empirical evidence, not experience and opinion
• Features a recent business case at the end of each chapter
