Dr. Donald DePamphilis explains the real-world of mergers, acquisitions, and
restructuring based on his academic knowledge and personal experiences with over 30 such
deals himself. The 99 case studies span every industry and countries and regions worldwide
show how deals are done rather than just the theory behind them, including cross-border
transactions. The interactive CD is unique in enabling the user to download and customize
content. It includes an Excel-based LBO model and an M&A Structuring and Valuation
Model in which readers can insert their own data and modify the model to structure and
value their own deals. CD also real options applications and projecting growth rates.
Student Study Guide on CD contains practice problems/solutions, powerpoint slides
outlining main points of each chapter, and selected case study solutions. An extensive
on-line instructor's manual contains powerpoint slides for lectures following each
chapter, detailed syllabi for using the book for both undergraduate and graduate-level
courses, and an exhaustive test bank with over 750 questions and answers (including
true/false, multiple choice, essay questions, and computational problems).
