‘Despite decades of research into Mergers and Acquisitions, the phenomena remains illusive and poorly understood. This refreshing new book, edited by King and Meglio, provides new perspectives on traditional topics as well as stimulating insights into nascent areas. It exposes the importance of viewing M&A as a multi-faceted phenomena and this is to be welcomed by academics and practitioners alike.’
