Summary

"Written to show business managers and financial executives which kind of corporate restructuring can be used successfully within their own corporations. Mergers, Acquisitions, and Corporate Restructurings examines nearly every type of corporate restructuring in use today, from mergers and acquisitions to joint ventures and recapitalizations. This thoroughly updated Fourth Edition provides a fresh overview of the most recent practices and how they are currently being used to revitalize and supercharge companies in America and abroad. Author Patrick Gaughan addresses the growth and development of the field of M&As through both a practical and historical focus, followed by a review of the laws and rules that govern the field. Gaughan also examines the many ways to thwart a hostile takeover as well as the impact of a takeover on shareholder wealth."--BOOK JACKET.
