In this up-to-date synthesis of current valuation theory and practice, Enrique Arzac applies the latest academic thinking to mergers, buyouts, and restructuring, and blends it with his own practical approach to valuation developed over years of consulting.

Throughout the text, Arzac provides illustrative examples and answers many of the valuation problems commonly encountered in professional practice. The result is a valuable toolkit of valuation procedures and analysis methods.
