The revised edition not only updates case studies and presents recent integration research, but it also adds new tools.

From the Inside Flap

Done right, M&As result in unified, cohesive new organizations whose financial performance and strategic options are much improved.

The second edition expands on the authors′ step–by–step advice and includes best–practices and lessons learned as well as information about:

  • Conducting M&A due diligence that leads to effective integration
  • Typical organizational dynamics created during a M&A deal

  • Mistakes commonly made during integration

  • The how–tos of comparing and combining company cultures

  • Effective design, management, and coordination of the enterprise–wide integration process

  • Retaining and recruiting key talent

  • Capturing and measuring deal synergies

  • A proven process for integration staffing and selection

This comprehensive resource also contains several new visual aids as well as helpful templates, checklists, graphs, and tools. In addition Galpin and Herndon provide sound guidance for successfully integrating different processes, organizations, and cultures.

Format:Hardcover
Good practical approach to the human resource side of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) written by 2 expert hands on management consultants. The reader is given a logical justification as to why company's simply must get better at judging cultural issues in an M&A situation. Whilst USA in its context the tools could be applied outside to any country. Easy to read. 2 to 3 Hours and the reader will have a fairly deep understanding of Galpin and Herndon's approach. The key reason for M&A failures is the lack of cultural appreciation of both companies. The book develops the concept of cultural diligence to sit right along side more normal financial due diligence processes The book is useful to senior company executives and students of MBA programmes as an augmentation to any other strategic transformation processes. Highly recommended but put a blank cover on the outside because do you want everyone to know you are looking into M&A activities?!

About as "Complete" as Possible 14 July 2000
By Robert Morris - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
There is already an abundance of resources on the subject of M&A, especially those available on the WWW. If you are looking for a single-volume source, this is probably one of the best. The authors devote 14 chapters to virtually all aspects of M&A. In process, with clarity and eloquence, they explain the "Watson Wyatt Deal Flow Model" which, after appropriate modifications, can be applied to almost any organization involved in M&A negotiations, either as a buyer or as a seller. The final chapter, all by itself, is well worth the cost of the book. In it, the authors suggest various "keys" to M&A success. They then provide:

Resource A: Sample Task Force Charter

Resource B: Integration Planning Template

Resource C: Executive Summary of Watson Wyatt Worldwide's 1998-1999 Mergers and Acquisitions Survey

What we have here is a single-volume in which two experts on the subject of M&A seem to share everything they know about the subject. Even if your company is not currently a buyer or seller, its senior-level executives should read this book. Why? Because you just never know. Perhaps sooner than now anticipated, your company will be courted by another...or it will be attracted to another company as a prospective acquisition. In either situation, this book (and the "Watson Wyatt Deal Flow Model" it discusses) will be invaluable.

Packed With Knowledge! 15 Mar 2001
By Rolf Dobelli - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This thorough, detailed book focuses on the misunderstood aspects of merger and acquisition management. Timothy J. Galpin and Mark Herndon clearly have vast experience and draw on case studies to illustrate their suggestions. They provide sample surveys and integration flow charts to guide hands-on planning, and offer practical advice that you can apply in real-world situations. Not all of these ideas are new, nor do the authors claim them to be. Instead, they apply the most relevant ideas from management and psychology to M&A. The authors hammer home an extremely consistent message: You must communicate. They present their ideas clearly, even though the book is often wordy and uses a lot of passive voice (alas, business prose). Nonetheless, this is actually a very dense book and the authors are careful not to waste the reader's time. This is essential reading for virgin M&A managers, and we at getAbstract think that even experienced acquirers may find much to learn.

Supplement to Wall Street M&A deals 17 May 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
The book is a great supplement to the subject of Valuation models and talks about in depth analysis that goes into the art of valuing a company. It actually goes in to informing the reader about the pre-merger and post-merger outcomes.....very informative and analytical!
