Billett, Associate Professor of Finance, Henry B Tippie Research Fellow, University of IowaI am happy to recommend the 5th edition of Mergers, Acquisitions, and Other Restructuring Activities. Having used prior editions of Don DePamphilis' text, I can affirm that the newest edition builds on a firm foundation of coverage, real-world examples, and readability. My students have consistently responded favorably to prior editions of the book. In the newest edition, I was delighted to discover that Don is expanding his coverage of family-owned businesses, already a strength in his earlier editions that were distinguished by their coverage of the valuation of privately-held businesses. Additional attention is paid to restructuring, bankruptcy, and liquidation as well as risk management, which are clearly topics of interest to every business person in today's economic climate. --Kent Hickman, Professor of Finance, Gonzaga University, WAThis new edition is one of the most comprehensive books on mergers and acquisitions. The text combines theories, valuation models, and real-life cases to give business students an overall insight into the M&A deal process. The up-to-date real-life examples and cases provide opportunities for readers to explore and to apply theories to a wide variety of scenarios such as cross-border transactions, highly-levered deals, firms in financial distress, and family-own businesses. The chapter on restructuring under bankruptcy and liquidation both inside and outside the protection of bankruptcy court is timely and most useful in light of today's economic crisis.
