"'Jason Draho's The IPO Decision is a clear, well organized, and especially well researched book on the IPO environment, process, and stock price results.' - Roger G. Ibbotson, Yale University and Chairman, Ibbotson Associates, Inc., US 'Even more important in the post-Internet bubble world, The IPO Decision by Jason Draho provides a critical, in-depth and practical perspective on the crucial terms and factors that influence the IPO process. From the company that plans to go public (or its professional advisor) to the buy side or sell side investment banker - the book provides a roadmap for all professionals associated with the IPO process.' - Ross Barrett, President and Co-Founder, VC Experts, Inc., New York, US"
Product Description
"The IPO Decision" is an exciting new book that clarifies how the initial public offering (IPO) process actually works. It separates fact from fiction and imposes a logical structure on the most up-to-date IPO-related research. All major topics pertaining to the going-public process are included: IPO timing, the financial, strategic, and corporate governance benefits and costs of public ownership, corporate restructuring, valuation, the role of the investment bank in the primary and secondary markets, the optimality of IPO mechanisms (book-building vs. auctions), analyst coverage, and the long-run performance of IPOs.

All you wanted to know but didn't know whom to ask
3 Aug 2006
Format:Paperback
Going Public is sort of the Holy Grail of the people starting a business. It's the way that you collect big time on your idea and all the work you put into it. Going Public is also a major, major effort that will take the company through hoops and turns that the founders never imagined. At the end, the founders may have a lot of money, but the company will have changed, they will have changed.
This book is almost two books in one.
First this book is a general overview of the process. It tells the whats, wheres, whys, hows of the process. This overview is perhaps the most complete written in today's climate. It talks about todays laws, today's markets, todays reporting requirements. To go with this, it talks about the people in the business and the functions they perform in getting a company public.
Second, this book gives an overview of today's climate in the aftermath of the Internet bubble where a lot of companies managed to go public with very little behind them and which has left a pretty sour taste in the public's mouth.
All in all, exhaustively researched, very complete, almost a 'must have' to anything beginning the process.

OK but boring
30 July 2007
Format:Paperback
The book discusses IPOs well, but it is terribly boring. The text requires a substantial effort to go over it. The author is a good researcher but a poor narrator. The book boils down to a presentation of 20 slides. Quality of printing is of class B.
