Not only is the validity of the motives of takeovers scrutinized, but this book also deals with corporate governance regulation. The book comprises an exhaustive treatment of all issues that arise in the restructuring processes, be it for takeovers, joint ventures, leverage buyouts, equity carve-outs etc. This book is a superb handbook, a must-read for scholars, practitioners, and policy makers concerned with corporate acquisitions."
