More about the book

Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) have become increasingly significant in the corporate landscape, driven by motives like enhancing market power and accessing new markets. However, many M&A attempts fail due to factors such as poor management and insufficient pre-deal analysis. The research emphasizes the necessity of thorough industry and target analysis, along with the use of various frameworks and tools to mitigate risks. It advocates for deeper insights into M&A transactions to develop guidelines for selecting optimal targets, addressing the unique challenges of each deal.
