Synopsis

Mergers and Acquisitions Basics: All You Need to Know provides an introduction to the fundamental concepts of mergers and acquisitions. Key concepts discussed include M&As as change agents in the context of corporate restructuring; legal structures and strategies employed in corporate restructuring; takeover strategies and the impact on corporate governance; takeover defenses; and players who make mergers and acquisitions happen. The book also covers developing a business plan and the tools used to evaluate, display, and communicate information to key constituencies both inside and outside the corporation; the acquisition planning process; the negotiation, integration planning, and closing phases; financing transactions; and M&A post-merger integration.

This book is written for buyers and sellers of businesses, financial analysts, chief executive officers, chief financial officers, operating managers, investment bankers, and portfolio managers. Others who may have an interest include bank lending officers, venture capitalists, government regulators, human resource managers, entrepreneurs, and board members.

About this title

Review:

An introduction for people who need to understand the whole of the m&a process and how participants interact with each other.

From the Back Cover:

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. Written for those who seek an broadly-based view of M & 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.|This book provides a "macro" overview of mergers and acquisitions, business alliances, and corporate restructuring.
