Mergers & acquisitions are an essential instrument of strategic corporate management for companies of all sizes.

Due to numerous endogenous and exogenous influences, no two M&A transactions are alike at the detailed level.

This book is designed as a practical M&A guide for students and professionals alike. In addition to dealing with important basics of mergers & acquisitions, the focus is on a structured and in-depth examination of the individual process steps of a typical company sale. At various points in this book, specific differences between a company sale of medium-sized companies (mid-caps) and large companies (large-caps) are discussed in detail.
