Mergers and Acquisitions Basics: All You Need To Know

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.
