Make the Deal: Negotiating Mergers and Acquisitions
DESCRIPTION
Make the Deal was written from the intention of giving a clear and highly comprehensive guide to the complexities of M&A negotiations. Business, finance, and law are collectively presented, providing a careful assessment of M&A techniques and its proper application in negotiations. More so, it discusses how these strategies lead to economic ramifications that affect the economy. This book integrates the use of larger frameworks and overviews about the acquisition agreement to fully shed light on negotiations’ complex process. This transitions into a more intricate narrative of various transaction forms, including stock sales, mergers, and asset, enough for readers to acquire knowledge for best practice application. Discourses derived from real-life transactions were presented with the intention of teaching how to weigh, assess, and decide in negotiations. These are necessary as both parties are determined to increase value, cut risks, and identify loopholes that may persist in the future.
Basically, Make the Deal encompasses the following objective
- Study the relation of M&A contract terms to economic consequences
- Evaluate the methods and systems practiced during acquisition deals
- Construct a structure that will facilitate and enforce the employed strategy
- Keep a tab on pressing trends that inhibit the landscape
