Description
In two volumes Don DePamphilis presents a high-level description of mergers &
acquistions, from negotiating and deal structuring to building business alliances and
restructuring corporations. Writtten for those who seek a broadly-based view of m&a,
his books tread a middle ground between highly technical and dumbed-down descriptions of
complex events. He concentrates on the processes and their players--investment bankers,
business brokers, accountants, attorneys, tax experts, managers, investors, and
others--and a dynamic series of actions with often-unforeseen implications.
