ISBN: 9781591394389.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTodays corporate deal makers face a conundrum: Though 70% of major acquisitions fail, its nearly impossible to build a world-class company without doing deals. In Mastering the Merger, David Harding and Sam Rovit argue that a laserlike focus on just four key imperatives--before executives finalize the deal--can dramatically improve the odds of M\u0026amp;A success. Based on more than 30 years of in-the-trenches work on thousands of deals across a range of industries--and supplemented by extensive Bain \u0026amp; Co. research--Harding and Rovit reveal that the best M\u0026amp;A performers channel their efforts into (1) targeting deals that advance the core business; (2) determining which deals to close and when to walk away; (3) identifying where to integrate--and where not to; and (4) developing contingency plans for when deals inevitably stray. Top deal makers also favor a succession of smaller deals over complex \"megamergers\"--and essentially institutionalize a success formula over time. Helping executives zero in on what matters most in the complex world of M\u0026amp;A, Mastering the Merger offers a blueprint for the decisions and strategies that will beat the odds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Harvard Business Review Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44955759870005,"sku":"ByrdShop_1591394384","price":29.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781591394389_295c6ba9-9923-4be2-b960-d36b7a550847.jpg?v=1781304469","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/mastering-the-merger-9781591394389","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
