About this title

Review:

"Mergers, Acquisitions, and Other Restructuring Activities by Donald DePamphilis is an outstanding book. Simply put, it is the most comprehensive M&A book on the market and ideal for anyone wishing to have a global view of this important phenomenon. The book’s value lies in drawing on multiple academic disciplines to inform the reader’s understanding of M&A supported by foundational academic research to support key insights.  The rigor of this approach, together with the liberal use of a wide variety of notable and up-to-date cases, makes the book an invaluable asset to anyone seeking to further their understanding of M&A." --Duncan Angwin, Lancaster University

"A comprehensive guide to corporate restructuring processes, with a focus on the strategic and financial considerations involved in M&A and other restructuring activity. A must read!" --Satu Teerikangas, University of Turku and University College London

From the Back Cover:

The 9th edition of Mergers, Acquistions, and Other Restructuring Activities is the most current, comprehensive, and cutting-edge text on M&A and corporate restructuring available. It is current in that it includes many of the most up-to-date and notable deals and precedent setting judicial decisions, as well as new regulations, trends, and tactics employed in M&As. The implications of such recent developments as negative interest rates on valuation and the backlash against globalization for cross-border M&As are discussed. More than 90% of the case studies are new for this edition, involving deals either announced or completed during the last several years. It is comprehensive in that nearly all aspects of M&As and corporate restructuring are explored from business plan development to target selection and valuation to negotiation and postmerger integration. It is cutting edge in that conclusions and insights are anchored by the most recent academic research, with references to more than 160 empirical studies published in leading peer-reviewed journals just since the release of the last edition in 2015.
