Creating Value from Mergers and Acquisitions is suitable for those studying advanced undergraduate and MBA courses in industrial organisations, finance, business strategy, and corporate governance, as well as those preparing for professional exams. The rigorous integration of the conceptual, empirical, and practical aspects of M&A means that researchers and practitioners will also find this book extremely useful.Consolidation and merger of corporationsCorporationsValuationLibros electrónicos.Consolidation and merger of corporations.CorporationsValuation.658.162Sudarsanam P.
