Global Mergers and Acquisitions

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.
