Creating Value from Mergers and Acquisitions gives an integrated and international perspective. This new book builds on and extends the author's highly successful title The Essence of Mergers and Acquisitions. This is the first book to provide a comparative analysis of the M. & A scene in Europe and the US. the two most active markets in the world. The book develops an international and multidisciplinary perspective of M. & A, and considers M. & A as a process and not a more transaction. The author draws upon economics, finance, strategy. law and organisational theories to formulate a five-stage model and emphasises the need to understand the interconnected nature of these stages. The book's central focus is on the challenges to using M. & A as an instrument to create shareholder value, how M. & A risks can be mitigated and how odds of success in acquisitions can b increased.

"Endorsements of" "Sudarsanam Creating Value From Mergers And Acquisitions: The Challenges " "I think that the book is outstanding. It is extremely well set out and written. I particularly like the way you link together the economics, finance, organization and strategy approaches to takeovers. That seems to be exactly what is required and I have no doubt that there will be a considerable demand for this from both students and lecturers".

The key strengths of the text are:" *"viewing the acquisition decision from a process perspective" *"focusing on a value creation perspective for the M & A decision" *"summarizing evidence on the extent of value creation in M & A transactions from the major industrialized economies and" *"overall 'user-friendliness' of text from reader's perspective."
