Acquisition Strategy and Implementation: Strategy and Implementation (Macmillan Business)

Summary: The good the bad and the ugly
Review: I read Hubbard's book while on the plane. I expected to put it down and get some shut eye but I couldn't. The book has five case studies in it and it was morbid fascination that kept me reading how badly several of these acquisitions went wrong. The tips and tools were excellent, much better than the marketing material that some of the other consulting firms have released in the name of M&A books. Although it is a British book, it translates well into American situations. I bought it because my boss told me that we had just bought a business; anyone in the same situation should do the same.
