Business/FinanceMergers, Acquisitions, and Other Restructuring ActivitiesFourth EditionDonald M. DePamphilis "This book is among the most comprehensive and best written books on the topic of M&A I have ever read…It is practical and complete… and well-structured…its attention to the world of cross-border transactions is timely and valuable."Paul Schulte, Lecturer, Hilton School of Business, Loyola Marymount University; Chief Investment Strategist, Asia Pacific, Lehman Brothers"Professor DePamphilis provides a comprehensive overview of all types of corporate restructurings. The book clearly shows which valuation technique is ideally suited for each type of restructuring… and is an exhaustive treatment of all issues that arise in the restructuring process.... A superb handbook, a must-read for scholars, practitioners and policy makers concerned with corporate acquisitions."Luc Renneboog, Professor of Corporate Finance, Tilburg University, Netherlands"Anyone interested in this subject can profit greatly by reading this very fine treatise…. It is comprehensive, insightful, and well-written. There are many case studies which show how the analyses discussed in the book may be applied. I wish this text had been available for my students at the Tuck School when I was teaching the M&A course there. I have no hesitation in recommending this book to students and practitioners, as well."Dennis E. Logue, Emeritus Professor of Management at the Amos Tuck School, Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire"What I find most useful ... is the integration of valuation models, financing strategies, alternative strategies (such as strategic alliances, joint ventures, spin-offs), and a specific focus on the cross-border deals. This book should be a must read for anyone interested in M&A."Tao-Hsien Dolly King, Associate Professor, Department of Finance and Business Law, The Belk College of Business, University of North Carolina at Charlotte"This text is a tour de force, the go-to text, the magnum opus of M&As. In addition to finance and accounting faculty, I recommend it to commercial bankers, venture capitalists and the larger financial community as well as government regulators such as the SEC and anti-trust folks." Ian Lee, PhD, Professor of Strategic Management, Sprott School of Business, Carleton University, Canada"The book is clearly written with extensive but easy-to-follow case examples and empirical findings…It is a book by an expert, and for M&A instructors and students as well as practitioners."Qiao Liu, PhD, Professor of Business and Economics, University of Hong Kong, ChinaIn Mergers, Acquisitions, and Other Restructuring Activities, Fourth Edition, Dr. Donald DePamphilis explains the real-world of mergers, acquisitions, and restructuring based on his academic knowledge and personal experiences with over 30 such deals himself.
