Synopsis

Dramatic as the corporate takeovers of recent years have been, it is far from clear what underlying forces are at work, and what their long-term consequences will be. This book represents one of the first sustained efforts to examine the complex issues surrounding the corporate takeover. Based on papers presented at a symposium sponsored by Columbia Law School's Center for Law and Economic Studies, it airs new theories and offers vital insights into events that have become central to American corporate culture.

About this title

Review:

An illuminating set of studies that offer a wide spectrum of opinions and conclusions....There is much information and insight to be gained from these pages, and those interested in the subject would do well to start here. (Journal of Economic Literature)

There is much information and insight to be gained from these pages, and those interested in the subject would do well to start here. (William S. Comanor, Journal of Economic Literature)

An excellent discussion of acquisitions, unique in that it provides a variety of academic, legal, and managerial insights into the subject. The 'comments' in each section are very thought-provoking in the criticisms and extensions they suggest. (Anju Seth, University of Houston)

Breadth and balance make this a good one-volume summary of the takeover debate. (Issues in Science and Technology)

Comprehensive treatment of important issues...useful as a supplement to law-and-economics courses. (Donald Solar, C. W. Post College)
