A detailed look at the worst M&A deals ever and the lessons learned from them It's common knowledge that about half of all merger and acquisition (M&A) transactions destroy value for the buyer's shareholders, and about three-quarters fall short of the expectations prevailing at the time the deal is announced.

Addressing several global concerns, this book features a collection of presentations on biodiversity and climate change, from the First World Congress in Agroforestry. It is useful for researchers and scientists, as well professionals in agroforestry, forestry, global change, climate change, and environmental studies, educators, and students.

Despite the material failure rates in M&A, managers pulling the trigger on key strategic decisions can make them work if they spend great care and rigor in the development of their M&A deals. Applied Mergers and Acquisitions addresses the drivers of M&A success and failure for both professionals and students.
