Product Description
In today's environment of mergers and acquisitions, executives must know everything possible to ensure M&A activities produce the profitable growth they are designed to achieve. Because what looks good on paper does not always pan out in reality, executives must be certain they understand how to control the post-acquisition situation and avoid post-merger failure. "The Art of M&A Integration" taps the experience of many experts in this field, covering the broad range of resources, processes and responsibilities that often must be integrated to complete a successful merger. Written in a down-to-earth, question-and-answer format, "The Art of M&A Integration": features interviews with 50 industry experts offering actionable advice based on their real-world experiences; allows the reader to compare how different industry executives view the essential issues that follow integration via acquisition or merger; and provides the tools to ensure a smooth transition, and make the ensuing whole better than the parts used to produce it.
From the Publisher
The Roadmap to Success in Postmerger IntegrationAfter your merger or acquisition is completed, the hard work is just beginning. Considerations come at you from all directions, each one important and requiring an immediate decision. Questions such as: Which divisions, if any, will be sold off? How will you value and combine intangible assets? How will your combined companies build shareholder value?
The Art of M&A Integration answers all of these questions and hundreds more! This timely and information-packed book delivers input from dozens of executives who have been involved in mergers and acquisitions. They share wisdom based on their successes, their failures, and how they would do things differently if they had a second chance.
