Book Description
A detailed look at the worst MandA deals ever and the lessons learned from them It's common knowledge that about half of all merger and acquisition (MandA) transactions destroy value for the buyer's shareholders, and about three-quarters fall short of the expectations prevailing at the time the deal is announced. In Deals from Hell, Robert Bruner, one of the foremost thinkers and educators in this field, uncovers the real reasons for these mishaps by taking a closer look at twelve specific instances of MandA failure. Through these real-world examples, he shows readers what went wrong and why, and converts these examples into cautionary tales for executives who need to know how they can successfully navigate their own MandA deals. These page-turning business narratives in MandA failure provide much-needed guidance in this area of business. By addressing the key factors to MandA success and failure, this comprehensive guide illustrates the best ways to analyze, design, and implement MandA deals. Filled with in-depth insights, expert advice, and valuable lessons gleaned from other MandA transactions, Deals from Hell helps readers avoid the common pitfalls associated with this field and presents them with a clear framework for thinking about how to make any MandA transaction a success.
