Corporate Takeovers Causes and Consequences

The takeover boom that began in the mid-1980s has exhibited many phenomena not previously observed, such as hostile takeovers and takeover defenses, a widespread use of cash as a means of payment for targeted firms, and the acquisitions of companies ranking among the largest in the country. With the aim of more fully understanding the implications of such occurances, contributors to this volume consider a broad range of issues as they analyze mergers and acquisitions and study the takeoveer process itself.Auerbach, Alan J. is the author of 'Corporate Takeovers Causes and Consequences' with ISBN 9780226032122 and ISBN 0226032124.
