Customer Reviews

Harvard Business Review - Mergers
This book is extremly useful for those who do not have access to the past editions of the Harvard Business review and want information on Mergers, However if you do have access to the harvard Business review I suggest you look them up and read the articles there and this book would be a waste of money as it offers no additional insight on mergers and acquisitions, only what is stated in the articles.

Practical Advice, flat wrong on New Economy...
As this book contains compilations of articles prior to the fall of the stock market in 2000, some authors tout the coming of the New Economy, even praising Worldcom as one of the best companies in the technology sector.

Apart from these glitches, the advice and insight is very helpful in understanding how these experienced authors who are CEOs make their M&A decisions, what their thoughts are etc. Very practical, and is not meant to be a theoretical read.
