Description

Corporate restructuring has once again become a tool in building the emerging generation of re-engineered companies with the power and resources to compete on a global basis. However, the issues, methods, motives, and techniques that shape today's world of mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, and reorganizations is often too complex for even the most knowledgeable managers to comprehend. Today, in order to run a business successfully, it means being able not only to understand, but also to harness the complexities of corporate restructurings. This volume focuses on all the types of corporate restructurings available today, including M&As, divestitures, reorganizations, joint ventures, leveraged buyouts, bankruptcy, workouts and reorganizations, and recapitalization. The book analyzes and incorporates the relevant economic, legal, and corporate finance considerations based on the latest research and case studies in the field. It addresses the tax issues that must be carefully evaluated in the course of a restructuring and analyzes the financial analysis that both the acquiring and target companies must conduct prior to sealing the deal.
