After the merger

by Price Pritchett

M&A activity roared to an all-time high in 1996, and corporate executives expected each deal to bring new levels of success and profits to their firms. If history is any judge, however, fewer than 50% of these executives will eventually consider their M&A ventures a success. What can you do to ensure a bright and profitable future for your newly-expanded company? This classic text, first published in the heady days of 1985 and now revised to reflect new realities in today's rapidly-changing business world, is packed with fascinating case histories and examples involving TWA, Wells Fargo, and others. After the Merger shows you how to roll up your sleeves and combine two separate, highly distinct companies into one solid organization.
