Mergers and Acquisitions Basics - SET

All You Need To Know

By
  • Donald DePamphilis, Dr. DePamphilis has managed more than 30 acquisitions, divestitures, and joint ventures. He holds a Harvard a Ph.D. in economics and is Clinical Professor of Finance at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, CA, USA

In two volumes Don DePamphilis presents a high-level description of mergers & acquistions, from negotiating and deal structuring to building business alliances and restructuring corporations.  Writtten for those who seek a broadly-based view of m&a,  his books tread a middle ground between highly technical and dumbed-down descriptions of complex events. He concentrates on the processes and their players--investment bankers, business brokers, accountants, attorneys, tax experts, managers, investors, and others--and a dynamic series of actions with often-unforeseen implications.

Audience
Students and professionals around the world who are studying or working in mergers and acquisitions. The book is especially useful for readers who seek material that lies between intensive and superficial coverage of these subjects. It requires only passing acquaintance with finance, economics, business law, and accounting.
