Features: The decision-making process in mergers and acquisitions is both a science and an art. Merging independent companies will lead to strategic issues for the post-merger company's development, cultural differences, and more. The resolution of these issues requires comprehensive analysis and judgment based on the new company after the merger to ensure its smooth development. This book addresses three key questions: When should a company consider mergers and acquisitions? Second, how should a company establish an acquisition team and adopt which acquisition methods? Third, how can a company determine the correct price for a merger partner or acquisition target. Based on the combination of the science and art of mergers and acquisitions, this book introduces the basic concepts, methods, and techniques of mergers and acquisitions. The book also includes case studies. The author, Hazel J. Johnson, is a renowned finance professor at the University of Louisville in the United States. She has published over 20 books on international finance and international practices. Some of her works have been translated into Japanese and Spanish.
