Smart things to know about mergers and acquisitions
 
Smart things to know about mergers and acquisitions

by T Grundy

Capstone, 2003

$41.95

Mergers and acquisitions have the potential to add tremendous value to corporations combining their expertise and market power. At the outset the future always appears rosy – the benefits are enormous, the risks minimal but in hindsight such a course can be destructive to an unimaginable degree.

Mergers and acquisitions present the executive and managers with one the most profound business challenges they will ever face. The decisions made at this stage will determine both personal and professional success – and failure. To help with the decision-making process, the book provides a step-by-step examination of the most critical phases of a merger and acquisition.

This book is written in clear, easily understood language and is a perfect tonic to potential shareholder value destruction. It helps determine a pathway of success by exploring all the options for business growth whether by merger, acquisition, strategic alliance, organic growth or divestment.

Particular areas include strategy and objectives, search processes, due diligence, risk, stakeholder acceptability, implementation evaluation, managing the process and integration issues.

An excellent combination of practical techniques and progressive thinking.
