Synopsis

Negotiations form the heart of mergers and acquisitions efforts, for their conclusions contain both anticipated and unforeseen implications.  Don DePamphilis presents a summary of negotiating and deal structuring that captures its dynamic process, showing readers how brokers, bankers, accountants, attorneys, tax experts, managers, investors, and others must work together and what happens when they don't.  Writtten for those who seek a broadly-based view of M&A and understand their own roles in the process, this book treads a middle ground between highly technical and dumbed-down descriptions of complex events.  It mixes theory with case studies so the text is current and useful.  Unique and practical, this book can add hard-won insights to anybody's list of M&A titles..

• Presents negotiation as a team effort
• Includes all participants, from investment bankers to accountants and business managers
• Emphasizes the interactive natures of decisions about assets, payments, and appropriate legal structures
• Written for those who seek summarizing, non-technical information

About this title

From the Back Cover

Negotiating is a dynamic process, evolving as new information becomes available.  This book provides a "macro" oveview of M & A negotiations and deal structuring, depicting it as a team-oriented process of highly interactive steps.  That process typically includes a variety of actors--investment bankers, business brokers, accountants, attorneys, tax experts, managers, investors, and others--and a dynamic series of actions with often-unforeseen implications. Written for those who seek a broadly-based view of M & A, this heavily illustrated mix of theoretical and empirical work steers a middle course between encyclopedic accounts of negotiating and deal structuring and thin summaries of the principal players' roles.
