Features: This book is more readable than "The Big Deal." As a participant, observer, and analyst on Wall Street, Wasserstein brings together in "The Big Deal" major mergers and acquisitions that have reshaped the business landscape over the past 30 years, giving you a chance to fully understand this high-risk and thrilling industry. The author reveals the evolution of modern transaction models: the 1960s and 1970s were a boom period for mergers; the 1980s were marked by a highly charged atmosphere of takeovers; and by the 1990s, every deal was a multi-billion dollar, meticulously planned big transaction.
