Online resources: Summary: Two strengths distinguish this textbook from others. One is its presentation of subjects in the contexts where they occur. Students see different perspectives on subjects and learn how complex and dynamic the mergers and acquisitions environment is. The other is its use of current events. Of its 72 case studies, 3/4 are new or have been updated. The implications of Dodd-Frank and US Supreme Court rulings affecting the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, among other regulatory changes, are developed to enhance teaching and learning experiences. Other improvements to the 6th edition have shortened and simplified chapters, increased the numbers and types of pedagogical supplements, and expanded the international appeal of examples. With a renewed focus on empirical and quantitative examples, the 6th edition continues to demonstrate how people work together on mergers and acquisitions and why the actions of specific individuals have far-reaching implications. Presents an integrated approach to the activities involved in mergers, acquisitions, business alliances, and corporate restructurings. All chapters have been revised, updated, and contain new content, and 14 include more extensive changes. Structural revisions make chapters more streamlined, shorter, and less complex. Case studies cover a dozen industries, and 75% are new or have been updated. All include discussion questions and answers.Summary: Front Cover -- Mergers, Acquisitions, and Other Restructuring Activities: An Integrated Approach to Process, Tools, Cases, and Solutions -- Copyright -- Dedication -- Contents -- Contents of the Companion Site -- List of Business Case Studies -- Preface -- Acknowledgments -- About the Author -- Part I: The Mergers and Acquisitions Environment -- Chapter 1: Introduction to Mergers and Acquisitions -- Inside M&amp -- A: dell moves into information technology services -- Chapter overview -- Mergers and Acquisitions as Change Agents -- Why Mergers and Acquisitions Happen -- Merger and acquisition waves -- Why It Is Important to Anticipate Merger Waves -- Alternative forms of corporate restructuring -- Friendly versus hostile takeovers -- The role of holding companies in mergers and acquisitions -- The role of employee stock ownership plans in M&amp -- As -- Business Alliances as Alternatives to Mergers and Acquisitions -- Participants in the Mergers and Acquisitions Process -- Alternative investors and lenders -- Activist Investors and M&amp -- A Arbitrageurs -- Do M&amp -- As pay off for shareholders, bondholders, and society? -- Why some M&amp -- As fail to meet expectations -- Long-term performance -- Some things to remember -- Chapter business cases -- Case Study 1.1: Xerox Buys ACS to Satisfy Shifting Customer Requirements -- Case Study 1.2: Assessing Procter &amp -- Gamble's Acquisition of Gillette -- Chapter 2: Regulatory Considerations -- Inside M&amp -- A: The limitations of regulation and the lehman brothers meltdown -- Chapter overview -- Federal securities laws -- Antitrust laws -- Dodd-frank wall street reform and consumer protection act -- State Regulations Affecting Mergers and Acquisitions -- National Security-Related Restrictions on Direct Foreign Investment in the United States -- The U.S. foreign corrupt practices act.PPN: PPN: 807343277Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-26-MYL | ZDB-30-PAD | ZDB-30-PBE | ZDB-30-PQE
