Mergers and acquisitions basics: all you need to know [resursă online] / Donald DePamphilis

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. Writtten for those who seek a broadly-based view of M and 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. Describes a broad view of the mergers and acquisition process to illustrate agents' interactions Simplifies without overgeneralizing Bases conclusions on empirical evidence, not experience and opinion Features a recent business case at the end of each chapter.
