Mergers and Acquisitions Basics: All You Need To Know 1st Edition

Dr. DePamphilis's book entitled Mergers and Acquisitions Basics represents an excellent alternative to his more rigorous textbook entitled Mergers, Acquisitions, and Other Restructuring Activities, 6th edition, for those seeking an easy to read discussion of a highly complicated topic. The book cuts through this complexity, reducing the various activities that characterize deal making into a highly understandable process. Using relatively few graphics and virtually no algebra, M&A Basics in less than 300 pages describes both why and how deals are done, providing useful insights along the way. The book also provides short case studies illustrating key points related to deal making. M&A Basics could be extremely useful as a text in seminars or as additional reading material for classes in business strategy, business law, corporate governance, and corporate restructuring._____________________________________________________Greg N.

Unlike other books on M&A, this book requires very little background in the subject matter. It is interesting and well organized and provides a concise and excellent overview of the subject matter.
