Summary |
Mergers, acquisitions, business alliances, and corporate restructuring activities are increasingly commonplace in both developed and emerging countries. Given the frequency with which such activities occur, it is critical for business people and officials at all levels of government to have a basic understanding of why and how such activities take place. The objective of this book is to bring clarity to what can be an exciting, complex, and sometimes frustrating subject. This book is intended to help the reader think of the activities involved in mergers, acquisitions, business alliances, and corporate restructuring in an integrated way.
The fifth edition contains exciting new content, including one new and seven substantially revised, updated, or reorganized chapters. The new chapter (Chapter 16) is entirely devoted to restructuring under bankruptcy and liquidation. This chapter is particularly timely, following the global economic slowdown of recent years, as financially distressed companies seek the protection of bankruptcy courts or are liquidated over the next several years.
The contents of the book includes below:
Part I. The mergers and acquisitions environment
Part II. The mergers and acquisitions process: Phases 1-10
Part III. Merger and acquisition valuation and modeling
Part IV. Deal structuring and financing strategies
Part V. Alternative business and restructuring strategies
