Robert F. Bruner. Deals from Hell: M&A Lessons that Rise Above the Ashes. Hoboken, Wiley, 2005. HG4028 .M4 B78 2005
From the Publisher: It is common knowledge that about half of all M&A transactions destroy value for the buyer’s shareholders, and about three-quarters fall short of the expectations prevailing at the time the deal is announced. In Deals from Hell: M&A Lessons that Rise Above the Ashes, Bruner takes a look at 12 instances of M&A failure, shows what went wrong and why, and converts these cautionary tales into parables for executives about how to successfully navigate their own M&A deals. These page-turning business narratives in M&A failure provide valuable insights and lessons about what to avoid in any M&A deal.
