About this ebook

Over half of acquisitions fail and acquirers keep making the same fatal mistakes time and time again: poor planning, a lack of communication and mishandled implementation. This book explores the process of acquiring through an in depth look at its various stages and enables the reader to understand the process in order to avoid its pitfalls. Throughout the book practical tools and up to date information analysis are used to demonstrate the latest in acquisition best practice. In addition five case studies are used to illustrate the process of acquiring and examine how different companies approached their respective acquisitions and their varying degrees of success. Including focused consideration of the key success determinants such as the psychology of acquisition, pre-acquisition planning, communication and acquisition development, this book is a vital guide for all those considering the acquisition process.
