Creating Value from Mergers and Acquisitions, 2e, provides an international and multidisciplinary perspective of M&A, and considers M&A as a process and not a mere transaction. The author draws upon economics, finance, strategy, law, organizational theories to formulate a five-stage model and emphasizes the need to understand the interconnected nature of these stages. The book's central focus is on the challenges to using M&A as an instrument to create shareholder value, how M&A risks can be mitigated and how odds of success in acquisitions can be increased.

This book is suitable for those studying advanced undergraduate and MBA courses in industrial organizations, finance, business strategy, and corporate governance, as well as those preparing for professional exams. The rigorous integration of the conceptual, empirical, and practical aspects of M&A means that researchers and practitioners will also find this book extremely useful.
