Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Comprehensive M&A reference Comment: Comprehensive M&A reference getAbstract suspects that this comprehensive text by Robert F. Bruner, one of the leading academic authorities on mergers and acquisitions (M&A), will prove nearly indispensable to any student or executive seeking a thorough introduction to the subject. Much of what has been written about M&A reflects a bias toward or against deals, oversimplifies, ignores important facts or promotes the business of an advisory firm. Bruner, however, addresses M&A with both scholarly objectivity and an appreciation for practical realities. His discussion of whether M&A deals on the whole create or destroy value raises points that seem to have eluded the attention of many economists. At the same time, he is quite aware of the limits of economic analysis, and gives appropriate emphasis to psychological and behavioral dimensions. Customer Rating: Summary: I needed it for school and the CD-ROM waas a huge help. Comment: I needed this book for business school, but our student store did not have the copy with the CD-ROM. Purchasing the book with the disc was a huge plus. It has very helpful examples and exercises of some pretty intimidating math. Customer Rating: Summary: Very Good Book, Very Good and Expensive CD Comment: This is the most complete book on M&A. I got the CD version that costs alot more. The content on the CD is good. But, if you dont want to spend money on the cd, the no-cd edition will make your day anyways Customer Rating: Summary: Very comprehenive in an acedemic way Comment: Very complete but not a "how to.." guide. A great and thought provoking resource. Should be on every investment banker book shelf Customer Rating: Summary: Very Difficult to Follow Comment: I found the book to be very difficult to follow in that it seems to be written for graduate level courses on the subject, with very little practical application. The book provides a detailed literature review but it is a bit dated. There is nothing about the rise of private equity and hedge funds in recent years. The book would also benefit from the use of more examples. Its sheer size and number of chapters makes it a bit disjointed. More Reviews
