SummarySome acquisitions work; some don't. Even as the merger wave continues unabated, managers and commentators disagree about its value -- both to shareholders and to the long-term health of the acquiring firms. These authors explore several myths that now dominate the debate over what makes for a successful acquisition. They argue that the acquisition process itself is a critical factor in the deal's ultimate fate. |
