Description
This book presents recent literature on corporate mergers, acquisitions, takeovers, restructuring, and corporate governance as well as discussions of valuation, cost of capital, and strategic financial planning.
This book discusses how M&As fit into a company's long-term strategy and how restructuring can unlock values in a company. It presents strategies designed to increase a firm's value: i.e., joint ventures, ESOPs, LBOs, share repurchases, and international strategies. The book also provides guides on selecting M&As to strengthen a company or increase its value. The second edition of Takeovers, Restructuring and Corporate Governance has been revised to include the latest empirical data and literature. It also now includes 38 important recent case studies: i.e., QVC-Paramount; Boeing-McDonnell Douglas; Ciba-Geigy-Sandoz, Disney-Cap Cities-ABC, and Time Warner-Turner.
