Mergers and Acquisitions: A Practical Guide for Private Companies and their UK and Overseas Advisers

International mega-deals capture media attention, but the principles of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) apply whatever the size of the company or deal. Jonathan Reuvid, a UK economist and editor/author, reminds readers of this fact in introducing papers by UK experts on M&A as a creative business strategy for small and medium enterprises. Aspects covered include funding; processes in business growth stages; negotiating a contract with partners/targets; and economic, change management, public relations, and related issues for directors' and shareholders. The text includes planning pointers, case studies, and a contributors' contact list.

Jonathan Reuvid is an economist and business writer. He was formerly engaged in investment banking, general management, and business development in China.
