Business Expert Press has just published /Mergers and Acquisitions:
Turmoil in Top Management Teams/ by Jeffrey A. Krug (Virginia
Commonwealth University).
/Mergers & Acquisitions/ provides an in-depth look at the consequences
of M&As for acquired top management teams. It examines M&As as a
corporate growth strategy, the importance of top management teams to a
firm’s long-term performance, the reasons why executives depart after an
acquisition, and the effects of these departures on target company
performance. It debates when executive turnover may be desirable or
undesirable and how acquiring firms can more effectively manage target
company executive teams during the integration process. An understanding
of these leadership issues will play an important role in determining
merger success.
The book is part of the strategic management and corporate governance
series edited by Mason Carpenter (University of Wisconsin) and Ken
Merchant (University of Southern California). Business Expert Press
