Customer Reviews
When this book became available to me, I was immediately interested, because I wanted to see if any of the issues I had faced over the years were mentioned in the text. "Merger & Acquisitions for Dummies" was three for three:
1. Buying Assets vs. Buying Stock. In a very brief and easy to read several paragraphs, Mr. Snow discusses the benefits of buying assets, in particular, minimizing liability, and the benefits of buying stock, in particular, minimizing taxes. I was surprised to see such a complicated subject being discussed so quickly, but this is a necessity in this kind of "user friendly" treatment.
2. Accounting for subsequent changes in, or actual misrepresentations in working capital. This always happens in a deal, and again, the discussion was good, if brief.
3. Earn outs to keep existing management motivated. Nicely done, and a variety of approaches were discussed.
Basically, if you are undertaking a merger or acquisition of any size, everyone is going to hire professionals to help them through it. But this relatively friendly approach to the subject would be a handy quick reference for the executive on either end of the deal, to take back to his office in order to plan for the sequence and importance of events, and as the process gets underway, to figure out what just happened in that meeting.
To the extent of my limited experience with deals, I believe Mr. Snow has done a nice job of capturing the relevant points and organizing them in a way that allows the reader to find what they want, quickly.
Listmania!
