WIN ACQUISITION GAME:TOOL, TEMPLATE, & BEST PRACT ACROSS M&A PROCESS CLOTH
In an era of digital transformation, disruptive innovation, transient competitive advantage, and industry convergence, mergers and acquisitions have become more complex than ever.
Winning at the Acquisition Game presents the best materials, insights, tools, and templates which comprise the comprehensive, cross-disciplinary Mergers and Acquisitions course taught in the MBA and Executive MBA programs at the Saïd Business School, University of Oxford. Each chapter connects traditionally distinct "siloed" functional expertise and provides readers with practical knowledge and tools to help them understand the entire M&A process; from pre-deal strategy and due diligence, through transaction valuation, negotiations, and consummation, to post-deal implementation, workforce motivation, innovation for revenue growth, and results measurement and reporting. Case examples illustrate how each stage of the process has been implemented by companies across various industries, while discussion questions and self-assessments enable readers to determine their organization's current level of M&A capability.
Through an actionable, end-to-end process model this book shows both practitioners and students of M&A how to successfully mobilize and integrate organizational capability and avoid management missteps to gain a unique advantage and truly "win" at the acquisition game.

The premise of the book and the studies quoted therein are interesting, but I found the book itself a bit dry.

This is an excellent guide to the 'Dos and Donts' around every aspect of the M&A process, starting right at the beginning of when you might even think about this strategy. It also provides a good overview of why and when companies might/should explore this path and ultimately can serve as the only thing you need for each step of the venture.
