This book on financial strategy covers the evolution of mergers and acquisitions by focusing primarily on value creation. Aware that the stages of this phenomenon remain largely misunderstood in finance, the author defines various types of operations, explains their development, details their means for accomplishment and analyzes the divergences surrounding them. Furthermore, this book describes key markets and elaborates on the consequences of mergers and acquisitions on the behavior of managers, who often undertake merger/acquisition operations with objectives that are not solely economic.
The author explores these motivations, which can form the basis of numerous risky operations, by focusing on their performance and their link with the circle of diversifying, restructuring and specializing. A survey of value creation measures and their sources is thus carried out. Two studies regarding mergers and value creation are included to supplement the work.
