Mergers and Acquisitions is a very difficult topic in the Corporate Finance, and it is the hot issue in this business world nowadays and it is one of the major strategies for company expansion and entry a new market.
The book Mergers and Acquisitions is a guide for investors and businessmen to know how to use mergers and acquisition. By using simple wordings and clear structure, the readers can understand the brief ideas easily.
Mergers and acquisitions, this book would let you know the differences between mergers and acquisitions, also more in-depth to each strategy, the takeover process, even the valuation process and regulation of major financial markets. With the comprehensive explanation and clear and popular examples, the readers would learn easier.
And in some difficult topic, real cases are given and help to illustrate the ideas. After reading this book, a reader should have brief ideas on the strategies to mergers with others and acquisition, the process need to do, the regulation need to notice. Also, for a target companies, you would know what things should be done in order to defence and refuse the offer or how company protect itself and ensure to achieve win-win situation.
The concept in this book is very simple and easy to read, but it may be its weakness. For an investor, this book only provides an introduction to reader for knowing some basic concepts of mergers and acquisitions, you do not expect to understand in-depth. The calculation is very simple, but the book would not give you more insights on how to choose the valuation method in the real business world. Actually, mergers and acquisitions are not only a corporate finance theory, it is difficult to judge or use the same successful formula or theory when the environment in each case is quite different. And I would say the book is more concerned on the theory rather than practical case. If you really want to know how to do mergers and acquisition in the real business world, this book may not be a good book or good reference for you.
Another weakness is that there is not enough explanation in the example, you will only know this example is related to this topic, but the readers cannot know how the strategy can apply in this example, and what is the differences of this example from that. And I think the readers would like to know more about it.
