A powerful guide for seeking out the best acquisition and merger
targets
As increasingly more companies look to mergers and acquisitions
(M&As) as a source of new growth and revenue, there is an even
greater chance that these M&As will go bad. This insightful
guide focuses on one of the most often debated and key issues in
mergers and acquisitions-why some deals fail miserably and why
others prosper. It provides a complete road map for what potential
buyers should look for when picking a target and what
characteristics of sellers they should steer clear of, as well as
pitfalls to avoid during the M&A process. Real-world examples
are provided of high-profile failures-Quaker Oats, United Airlines,
Sears, and Mattel-and high-profile successes-General Electric and
Cisco.

acquisitions, as well as other related applications.
