    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

    "This book presents new perceptions from Jeff’s years of research in
    M&As. I highly recommend it to executives involved in the merger
    integration process."
