Product Description
Modern restructuring techniques for a global business landscape
Corporate restructurings are an indispensable tool in building a new generation of re-engineered companies with the power and resources to compete on a global playing field. Written from a practical and historical perspective, Mergers, Acquisitions, and Corporate Restructurings, Fourth Edition carefully analyzes the strategies and motives that inspire M&As, the laws and rules that govern the field, as well as the offensive and defensive techniques of hostile acquisitions.
In this thoroughly revised Fourth Edition, author and business valuation expert Patrick Gaughan provides a fresh perspective on M&As in today's global business landscape, and how your company can reap the benefits from the various forms of restructurings available. Packed with the most up-to-date research, graphs, and case studies, Mergers, Acquisitions, and Corporate Restructurings, Fourth Edition explores:
* Recent takeover trends including the role of private equity firms and hedge funds
* Most effective offensive and defensive tactics in hostile bids
* A review of the effect of shareholder wealth on a variety of takeover actions
* Modern, historical, and global perspectives on the field
* The various forms of downsizing including divestitures, spinoffs, and equity carve-outs
* Bankruptcy as an effective restructuring technique
* Latest developments in corporate governance
* Pros and cons of joint ventures and strategic alliances

 Practical, accessible, 2007-05-08
This book is a valuable guide to the real world issues of M&A's and Corporate Restructuring. Instead of dwelling too much on financial theory it provides informative descriptions of the options available to CEO's, CFO's, corporate boards and shareholders, as well as the ethical and tactical issues they will face. Language and structure both are very accessible, making this book equally useful as a study text or reference book.
I can recommend this book to both finance majors and laypeople.

good insight in the M&A world, 2003-12-27
This book gives the reader a very good insight in the world of mergers and acquisitions + corporate restructurings due to M&A. It covers all possible aspects of M&A activities, all very well explained. My opinion is that this book is especially useful if you are a beginner within M&A, as I was when I first read it.
It provides even more insights into the matter by stating clear examples of mergers and acquisitions.
This book is the one to buy if you are taking your first steps in the world of M&A...

The Premier Merger Book, 2002-04-28
This book is an excellent pragmatic treatment of the topic of mergers. It surveys the relevant research and combines it with many practical examples to demonstrate its relevance. The abundant case studies serve to drive home each major point. The topics covered feature a broad international focus throughout the book. Given the fact that mergers, acquisitions and corporate restructurings are now an international phenomena, we need a book which covers the topic from such a focus rather than just focusing on a U.S.-oriented treatment. The other major advantage of this book over other merger books is its chapters on valuation. Practitioners will find this invaluable. I would strongly recommend this book to all interested in the field. Kerry Monahan
