This book is quite disorganized. It seems that the author would have been better served to take some time out to go over the book again prior to releasing it. It reads like a disorganized combination of miscellaenous ideas. The result is a confused presentation that neither serves the practitioner nor the academic MBA student. The book also seem to rehash parts of a treatment of M&A that has been out for many years in other books such as Gaughan's Mergers Acquisitions and Corporate Restructurings. This book does not add to the field but merely repeats what is already out there in other books and does so in a poorly organized way.
