This is an important book. 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 & Acquisitions, making most of the "findings" relatively unimportant for practice.Yet M&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&A operations.In no few cases, M&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&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.; PDF; Business,Finance and Law > Business & management > Business strategy, transcript Verlag<

This is an important book. 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.
