Managing Acquisitions: Creating Value Through Corporate Renewal
by Philippe C. Haspeslagh, David B. Jemison
Category: Business & Economics

Based on eight years of research at 20 companies involved in 30 mergers or acquisitions in the United States, Europe and Asia, this book argues that too much attention is paid to takeover strategies and not enough to developing resources after they have been acquired. This book aims to redress this balance by devoting as much space to the issues that arise after an acquisition or takeover as to the measures needed to pull off the initial business coup.
