Global Mergers and Acquisitions: Combining Companies Across Borders

This book explains in detail corporate restructuring through
mergers and acquisitions (M&A). It critically examines all
functions that must be performed in completing an M&A
transaction, as well as domestic and cross-border M&As, international
finance, and multinational financial management.
Given the increasing importance of China as the second
largest economy in the world and Chinese companies’ growing
merger and acquisition activities globally, the authors devote
the last two chapters of the book to China’s outward foreign direct
investment, cross-border M&A activities, and include case
studies regarding Chinese foreign direct investment.
The authors provide detail-oriented tasks including developing
a strategy for merger or acquisition, finding a target, conducting
due diligence, valuing the target company, conducting
negotiations, and satisfactorily meeting the most challenging
phase of an M&A transaction—to integrate the acquiring and
acquired companies.
