From the Inside Flap

Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are big business on a global scale. In cases when M&As happen with industry giants--like Bank of America and Merrill Lynch, Royal Bank of Scotland and ABN AMRO, and AOL and Time Warner--there's a lot at stake throughout every step of a complex process. Even with hundreds of billions of dollars on the line, it is surprising how little time many buyers spend investigating the massive commitment they are making for their companies, their shareholders and their own careers. Material Adverse Change takes you behind the headlines of some of the most highly visible M&As in recent history in order to highlight where these deals fell apart and the lessons learned to prevent failures from happening again.

The collection of failed, landmark M&A deals examined inside is designed to address the most common pitfalls of these negotiations, and it's shocking to learn many of these failures occurred because of such commonsense errors as a failure to consider cultural differences, poor negotiating strategies or simply not enough investigation by the buyer before they committed billions of dollars to the deal. So, it's odd that these problems are so widespread at the highest levels of the industry. The influence of the global economy has changed M&A in significant ways, and will continue to do so, which is why the old playbooks are obsolete and today's executives, attorneys, and everyone else involved in M&A deals need an updated approach to the M&A strategy.
