More About the Author
Product Description
Review
Sam L. Ginn Chairman and CEO Pacific Telesis Group The authors' distinctive view of integration processes as a key to creating value is useful. They provide a way to place acquisitions into the corporation's overall strategic context, help understand what makes an acquisition work, and discuss in practical terms the problems one faces after the deal is done.
Product Description
Based on eight years of research at 20 companies involved in 30 mergers or acquisitions in the United States, Europe and Asia, this book argues that too much attention is paid to takeover strategies and not enough to developing resources after they have been acquired. This book aims to redress this balance by devoting as much space to the issues that arise after an acquisition or takeover as to the measures needed to pull off the initial business coup.

Format:Hardcover
M&A books tend to be written in one of either two ways - "How-to" and strategy. This is a business strategy book. It deals primarily with the post acquisition phase and the successful integration of the business into an overall business plan. It could be used as a textbook on the subject given it's rigor. An added bonus is that it is well written by two authors that know the subject.

Not recommended, very heavy going. The book takes a bewildering perpsective of the acquisition process and uses impenetrable langauge (its a bit like reading something transleted by a computer program). If it was the intention of the authors to make a complicated subject even more difficult to understand, they have been spectacularly successful. It often gives the same feeling as listening to a Stanley Unwin monolgue. If you are looking for useful books on this subject try Weston and Weaver, Galpin and Herndon or Hubbard. They all provide much more useful insights and models.

The M&A Book that started it all
11 Sep 2001
Format:Hardcover
Jemison and Haspeslagh are the high priests of M&A strategy. They created the strategic school reinforced by likeminded practitioners. The M&A thought leaders Clemente, Sikora, Greenspan, and Feldman, have taken the next step moving M&A out of the realm of the accountants and investment bankers and into the realm of business strategists. But this is the book that started it all and first took M&A beyond the numbers and valuations. This bible belongs on the shelf of every serious business man and woman.
