The comprehensive guide to mergers, acquisitions, and corporate restructurings Mergers, Acquisitions, and Corporate Restructurings is an all-inclusive guide to M&As that illustrates how restructuring can be used successfully, how each form works, and the laws that govern them.

Examining how M&A fits in corporate growth strategies, this book covers various strategic reasons for companies entering mergers and acquisitions (M&A), along with a look at those that are based on sound strategy, and those that are not. It explains which types of M&A work best and which to avoid.

As increasingly more companies look to mergers and acquisitions (M&As) as a source of new growth and revenue, there is an even greater chance that these transactions can go wrong. This insightful guide focuses on one of the most often debated and key issues in mergers and acquisitions-why some deals fail miserably and why others prosper.
