Mergers and acquisitions (M&As), if executed well, offer tremendous value to the stakeholders of a business. M&As lead to efficient use of all resources, leverage on the capabilities of the merging entities, and lead to an increase in shareholder value. The business scenarios in the US and Western Europe have witnessed significant activity in terms of the number of M&A deals executed during the last couple of decades. As a result, the US and European businesses have a greater amount of experience and learning in this regard. As far as Asia is concerned, the region is expected to witness a spurt in terms of M&A deals within the next few years, with India and China leading the way. Buying a company is a much more complicated affair than buying a piece of machinery. The problems are complex and specialists must be consulted. While this book does not try to replace the specialist, it focuses on the M&A scenario in India, highlights the trends in a number of different sectors, and alerts one to the kind of management, legal, tax, accounting, and due diligence issues. In the context of tremendous growth in M&A deals, both domestic and overseas, it is hoped that this book will serve as a ready reference and guide for management consultants, business analysts, business teachers, and business students.
