Mergers, Acquisitions, and Other Restructuring Activities An Integrated Approach to Process, Tools, Cases, and Solutions

"Dr. DePamphilis' book is a rare achievement-a textbook that provides 'nuts and bolts' information for the businessperson with responsibility for doing a deal. I intend to give a copy to every one of my clients as a 'must read' before considering a merger or acquisition. A few pages into Mergers, Acquisitions, and other Restructuring Activities I knew it was obviously written by someone who has 'been there, done that'." --H. Edward Wesemann, The Edge Group, Edmonton, Canada "This is one of the finest books I have seen on the subject, and surely the most comprehensive. It's a primer on all corporate finance activities, and anyone seeking an education on the mergers and acquisition process and all of its ramifications should read this. As an active mergers and acquisitions practitioner myself, I want my dealmakers and colleagues to read this, too. The book covers not only the basics, but also the detailed, specific knowledge needed by those individuals involved in almost every aspect of the mergers and acquisitions process. This includes buyers, sellers, bankers, lawyers, and accountants. It happily addresses not only the large public corporate transactions, but also the private middle market companies where the vast majority of mergers and acquisitions deals take place. While it certainly is a comprehensive textbook, I found it truly 'easy reading' and especially enjoyed the many case studies-some with the drama of the 'Barbarians at the Gate.' Good Stuff!" --Marvin Kaulkin, CEO, Kaulkin Ginsberg Company "Professor DePamphilis draws upon his years in academia and considerable industry experience to produce a book that should be valuable reading for both the student and practitioner of 'deal making.' I found it insightful and interesting." --D. Van Skilling, Retired Chairman and CEO, Experian Corporation The explosion in the number, size, and complexity of mergers, acquisitions, and alliances during the 1990s demonstrates how ingrained business combinations have become in the global business community. Despite these developments, studies show that a disportionately large number of such combinations fail to satisfy their participants' expectations, suggesting a need to think and act differently in conceiving and implementing corporate restructuring activities. This book addresses these critical needs by way of theory, industry experience, case studies, and academic background.Depamphilis, Donald is the author of 'Mergers, Acquisitions, and Other Restructuring Activities An Integrated Approach to Process, Tools, Cases, and Solutions' with ISBN 9780122107351 and ISBN 0122107357.
