Written in a handy, easy-reference Q&A format, this no-nonsense handbook covers everything from the early stages of locating a suitable target--or finding that you are a target--through the postmerger trials of turning multiple companies into one.

Synopses of nearly three dozen landmark cases give real life insights into legal rulings from previous high profile mergers. Over the past decade, The Art of M&A has helped thousands of executives make sound decisions. Now, let it provide all the information you will need to buy or sell companies, whether public or private, domestic or foreign.

Ingram

With thousands of companies being put on the market, and with the recent trend towards strategic alliances, the newest edition of this classic guide to successful mergers is written for the people who are pinpointing the targets, structuring the financings, and, most important, closing the deals. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Reference Book, July 11 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Art of M&A: A Merger Acquisition Buyout Guide (Hardcover)

This is a fantastic reference tome for anyone involved with M&A. As a private equity Associate, I have found this book to be invaluable on multiple levels as both a reference guide for securities law, as well as for procedural issues such as sample formats for term sheets, DD check lists, etc.

Also, while it is a dense read, I think this would be invaluable for people just entering either Investment Banking or Private Equity to read as an introduction to the rules, regulations and procedures surrounding mergers/acquisitions.

(TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Art of M&A: A Merger Acquisition Buyout Guide (Hardcover)

The very size of this book on such a specialized topic may seem daunting. However, the writing is so lively and the organization by question and answer is so easy to use that you will find this a very useful and comprehensive handbook.

It is NOT a theory laden textbook. Rather, it is a very useful and practical guide to the field and will help the careful reader avoid many pitfalls. There are many ways to make mistakes in buying companies and this book can open your eyes to quite of few of them. In fact, if you are the target of a buyout, this book can be of special importance and interest.

I admit to being fascinated by this topic so take that into consideration when evaluating what I say about this book. But even so, mergers and acquistions are so much in the news (for good and ill) that it can only help to get more background on what is really going on and how these deals are (or at least should be) put together.

The book reads MUCH shorter than its size and is fairly comprehensive on the subject - from the methods in selecting candidates for acquisition to what to do when you are a target of an acquisition to some very specialized topics. It also deals with M&A issues with both public, private, and even family firms.

Honestly, I am surprised at how glad I am that I bought this book. It is terrific.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Practical, Dec 9 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Art of M&A: A Merger Acquisition Buyout Guide (Hardcover)

I have been an M&A practitioner for twenty years and rarely have I found a book that is as readable and useable as this one. The author is able to synthesize difficult concepts and communicate them in a highly user friendly way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wise investment
If you're a newcoming US M&A analyst or associate, this book should be considered essential reading. Even for a VP or above, it's a great reference manual.
