Review

'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.' -- Duncan Angwin, University College London, UK'Given antitrust concerns in the US and EU, mergers and acquisitions are again front and center in the discussion about competition, innovation, and societal welfare. Leading M&A scholars King and Meglio edited this volume to provide a fresh look at the most important research M&A research issues. Scholars and practitioners interested in getting up to speed in this important area should read this book.' -- Frank T. Rothaermel, Georgia Institute of Technology, US
