Book Description
"For the first time ever, an acute observer is effectively investigating the role of the board and the governance structure necessary for successful acquisitions. This is enormously significant; despite the fact that M&A success factors are broadly known and researched, the conditions upon which they are based and allowed to flourish are not, resulting in the continuing failure of more than two-thirds of acquisitions. Indeed, because of this pioneering approach the book was praised by practitioners for its additions to strategic management understanding. Farsam Farschtschian's incisive analysis, enriched by discussions with some of the world's most renowned CEOs and chairmen, reveals the gap between mainstream theory and the reality of the board room, going on to develop far-reaching recommendations for top management. The author's conclusions sharply illustrate the limits and challenge the inadequacies of current corporate governance and the structural transformations resulting from new types of business practices and methods." -- Publisher's website.
