The topic is important, and Dr. Straub approaches it with a new approach. In fact, one could say that the book’s importance stems from its lack of disciplinary focus, relying instead on a holistic understanding of the phenomenon. Too often, academic research is pursued within a narrowly defined academic “field”, necessarily blinding researchers to realities whose essence is inter-disciplinary. This is typically the case with research on Mergers \u0026amp; Acquisitions, making most of the “findings” relatively unimportant for practice. Yet M\u0026amp;A are a crucial part of business development. It is evident that companies’ long-term success is at least partially dependent on their strategic actions. And these are often shaped in practice by merger and acquisition activity. Thus phenomena as varied as globalization, value-chain optimization, or product diversification are often implemented as M\u0026amp;A operations. In no few cases, M\u0026amp;A activity constitutes the company’s strategy. If, as noted above, strategic moves do have an impact on lo- term success, it follows that M\u0026amp;A activities are at the core of many business successes… and failures. As such, they play an important role in the development of the whole society: wealth is created (or destroyed) mostly by companies. Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of the phenomenon is its very high failure rate.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Deutscher Universitätsverlag\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2007-07-26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783835008441\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-8350-9637-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 227\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Deutscher Universitätsverlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47667472793740,"sku":"9783835008441","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783835008441.jpg?v=1776455141","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783835008441","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
