From the Back Cover

Mergers, Acquisitions, and Other Restructuring Activities: An Integrated Approach to Process, Tools, Cases, and Solutions (10th Edition) is unique in that it is the most current, comprehensive, and cutting-edge text available on this subject. Supported by recent peer reviewed academic research, this book discusses topics in the context in which they occur in the M&A process.
It is current providing many of the most recent notable deals, precedent-setting judicial decisions, government policies and regulations, and trends affecting M&As, as well as takeover strategies and tactics. For example, the book discusses the implications of the US Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, data protection laws, and digital currencies for M&As. Today’s policies, politics, and economics are reflected in the book’s nearly 40 case studies, 90% of which involve deals either announced or completed during the last several years. These cases represent friendly, hostile, highly leveraged, and cross-border transactions in ten different industries, involving public and private firms as well as firms experiencing financial distress.
It is comprehensive in that all aspects of M&As and restructuring are explored in detail. Part I provides an overview of M&As, a discussion of key regulations, and common M&A strategies and tactics. Part II discusses how managers may choose a business strategy from available options; Part III introduces valuation methods and basic financial modeling techniques. The negotiating process, how deal structuring and financing are inextricably linked, how consensus is reached during the bargaining process, and the role of financial models in closing the deal are described in Part IV. Finally, Part V addresses strategic growth options as alternatives to domestic M&As, including corporate restructuring programs ranging from bankruptcy reorganization to business alliances to cross-border M&As.
It is cutting edge in that conclusions and insights are anchored by the most recent academic research, with references to more than 270 empirical studies published in leading peer-reviewed journals just since 2017. Often questioning conventional wisdom, the analyses and results of these academic studies can change the way we view this subject matter.
