The Ernst and Young Management Guide to Mergers and Acquisitions - Hardcover

One of the world's largest professional services firms, Ernst & Young advises 113 of Fortune's top 500 companies. That expertise is now available to companies of all sizes in this series of business guides linked by a common theme - the drive to grow. Many businesses have looked with longing at other companies, home or abroad, whose performance could make them a suitable partner rather than competitor. But it is difficult enough running one's own business successfully without having to learn a whole new portfolio of skills required for takeovers. Describing how to initiate the process, how and when to take advice (plus how to understand and implement it), this is a practical guide written in a straightforward style.
