Mastering the Chaos of Mergers and Acquisitions - How to Plan, Negotiate, and Implement Alliances and Partnerships in a Complex World (Hardcover)

This book reveals the complexity of mergers and acquisitions, and explains how to master it. From doing the deal to making it work, this comprehensive book discusses every aspect of successfully growing your business through mergers and acquisitions.

This book provides a conceptual framework plus proven templates and real-life examples to guide readers through the twists and turns of forming and sustaining a business partnership. The authors' own experiences with companies such as Shell, Monsanto, and Lucent are the foundation for this thorough handbook. J.

He is a principal in an investment advisory firm guiding domestic and foreign joint ventures. His clients include many multinationals and governments. Kimberly A. Webb is a consulting associate for Ralls Associates. Her experience includes assignments with the US government, and other assignments in the US, Canada, and Europe.
