Abstract

Merger and acquisition (M&A) activity increased in 2005, but vocal critics are decrying the huge transaction costs usually involved. Shareholders of the buying firms mostly lost out.

But it doesn't have to be that way, says the author, who has assisted scores of M&A clients over two decades. And he explains how to control M&A costs. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc..
