Successful mergers and acquisitions are increasingly vital to the growth and profitability of many corporations. But they are hard and difficult to execute successfully. And many end up destroying shareholder value.

The practical guide to M&As that create value

Successful mergers and acquisitions are increasingly vital to the growth and profitability of many corporations. But they are hard and difficult to execute successfully. And many end up destroying shareholder value.

The Value Killers is the first book based on a holistic analysis of successful and unsuccessful transactions. Based on research, interviews with top executives, and case studies, this book identifies the key causes of failures and successes and offers prescriptions to increase the odds that future transactions will deliver all the anticipated synergies.

The Value Killers offers practical advice in the form of 5 Golden Rules. These rules will help managers and boards to ensure that target companies are properly valued; potential synergies and risks are identified in advance; checks and balances are installed to make sure that the pros and cons of the transaction are rationally and objectively evaluated; mechanisms are created that will trigger termination of bad deals; and obstacles to successful post-merger integrations are assessed (and solutions developed) before the deal closes. Each chapter includes questions for executives considering future M&As to allow them to see whether they are on the right track or not.
