Description
Totally revised and updated for the 1990s, this authoritative guide provides senior managers and business owners with nontechnical advice on all major aspects of an acquisition or merger program. It gives you information on cross-border mergers and acquisitions; tax planning for international deals; acquiring financially troubled companies; new federal income tax considerations; financing alternatives for buyers; postmerger integration, including employee compensation; new regulations; plus a complete acquisition planning strategy. Mergers & Acquisitions, Second Edition stresses “back-to-basics” techniques as a reaction to the high-profile glitz of the 1980s. Inside you’ll also find information on unique strategies that apply to niche acquisitions – an area of growing activity, authoritative views on corporate venture investments, and the scene in Europe, Canada, and the Far East. This comprehensive guide – written without jargon – gives readers the tools they need to successfully manage a merger or acquisition in today’s highly competitive global business environment.
