For the first time ever, an acute observer is effectively investigating the role of the board and the governance structure necessary for successful acquisitions. This is enormously significant; despite the fact that M&A success factors are broadly known and researched, the conditions upon which they are based and allowed to flourish are not, resulting in the continuing failure of more than two-thirds of acquisitions. Indeed, because of this pioneering approach the book was praised by practitioners for its additions to strategic management understanding. Farsam Farschtschian´s incisive analysis, enriched by discussions with some of the world's most renowned CEOs and chairmen, reveals the gap between mainstream theory and the reality of the board room, going on to develop far-reaching recommendations for top management. The author's conclusions sharply illustrate the limits and challenge the inadequacies of current corporate governance and the structural transformations resulting from new types of business practices and methods. "Highly original! (...) This book deserves a broad readership and I hope that many managers dealing with such matters benefit from this research." Dr. h.c. Helmut Maucher, Honory Chairman of Nestlé "In every sense, this book is extraordinary, original in thought and brilliantly written, providing top management with effective management tools for acquisitions." Prof. Dr. Fredmund Malik, Founder and Chairman Malik Management, St. Gallen "The author treats one of the most important subjects in M&A: the decision making process of the acquirer and the influence of governance structures on the success of an acquisition. This work can be recommended to all M&A practitioners and to all board members and managers who take part in an acquisition." PD Dr. Urs Schenker, Managing Partner, Baker & McKenzie Zurich "Ultimately in M&A, human factors and the ability to interact effectively with decision-makers within the given corporate governance structure are the key. Farschtschian's book is an illuminating scientific and empirical study which makes a valuable contribution to current M&A praxis." Dr. Dirk Notheis, Chairman Morgan Stanley Bank AG

Praise for MORE THAN A NUMBERS GAME "More Than a Numbers Game is a revelatory history of how accounting conventions have shaped business reality, for good and ill." -Justin Fox, Editor at Large, Fortune "Mr. King's book should be of interest to both those who have lived through the accounting debates and debacles of the past half century and those just beginning their business careers. By focusing on a dozen or so major developments, particularly those with negative consequences, the book helps explain why good financial information is so critical to capital markets. Equal doses of insight and humor make this an easy-to-read, but hard-to-forget summary of an important business topic." -Dennis R. Beresford, Ernst & Young Executive Professor of Accounting, The University of Georgia, and former chairman of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (1987-97) "More Than a Numbers Game is a must-read for accounting students looking for a supplement to traditional textbooks. It offers a business perspective to accounting, providing readers with a holistic overview of taxes, cost accounting, regulation, as well as more traditional financial reporting topics." -Philip A. Laskawy, retired chairman and CEO, Ernst & Young "Tom King provides even the non-accountant a fascinating look at how accounting rules and practices have evolved into the way corporations are valued today. He is particularly effective in analyzing the 'earnings game' and the growing role of intangible assets in the valuation process." -Louis M. Thompson Jr., President and CEO, National Investor Relations Institute "Tom King takes a very important topic in today's world, accounting, and puts it into a perspective that sheds an entirely new light on the importance of accounting and the intrinsic shortcomings of the profession. Whether you use GAAP accounting, do quarterly earnings, or are a private company, there is more than meets the eye to the accounting profession. King's book is an invaluable piece of work to demystify what tends to be a mystery." -Jeff Joerres, Chairman and CEO, Manpower Inc.

This business classic features straight-talking advice you'll never hear in school. Featuring a new foreword by Ariel Emanuel and Patrick Whitesell Mark H. McCormack, one of the most successful entrepreneurs in American business, is widely credited as the founder of the modern-day sports marketing industry. On a handshake with Arnold Palmer and less than a thousand dollars, he started International Management Group and, over a four-decade period, built the company into a multimillion-dollar enterprise with offices in more than forty countries. To this day, McCormack's business classic remains a must-read for executives and managers at every level. Relating his proven method of "applied people sense" in key chapters on sales, negotiation, reading others and yourself, and executive time management, McCormack presents powerful real-world guidance on the secret life of a deal management philosophies that don't work (and one that does) the key to running a meeting-and how to attend one the positive use of negative reinforcement proven ways to observe aggressively and take the edge and much more Praise for What They Don't Teach You at Harvard Business School "Incisive, intelligent, and witty, What They Don't Teach You at Harvard Business School is a sure winner-like the author himself. Reading it has taught me a lot."-Rupert Murdoch, executive chairman, News Corp, chairman and CEO, 21st Century Fox "Clear, concise, and informative . . . Like a good mentor, this book will be a valuable aid throughout your business career."-Herbert J. Siegel, chairman, Chris-Craft Industries, Inc. "Mark McCormack describes the approach I have personally seen him adopt, which has not only contributed to the growth of his business, but mine as well."-Arnold Palmer "There have been what we love to call dynasties in every sport. IMG has been different. What this one brilliant man, Mark McCormack, created is the only dynasty ever over all sport."-Frank Deford, senior contributing writer, Sports Illustrated

“ExxonMobil has met its match in Coll, an elegant writer and dogged reporter . . . extraordinary . . . monumental.” —The Washington Post “Fascinating . . . Private Empire is a book meticulously prepared as if for trial . . . a compelling and elucidatory work.” —Bloomberg From the Pulitzer Prize-winning and bestselling author of Ghost Wars and The Achilles Trap, a n extraordinary exposé of Big Oil. Includes a profile of current Secretary of State and former chairman and chief executive of ExxonMobil, Rex Tillerson In this, the first hard-hitting examination of ExxonMobil—the largest and most powerful private corporation in the United States—Steve Coll reveals the true extent of its power. Private Empire pulls back the curtain, tracking the corporation’s recent history and its central role on the world stage, beginning with the Exxon Valdez accident in 1989 and leading to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. The action spans the globe—featuring kidnapping cases, civil wars, and high-stakes struggles at the Kremlin—and the narrative is driven by larger-than-life characters, including corporate legend Lee “Iron Ass” Raymond, ExxonMobil’s chief executive until 2005, and current chairman and chief executive Rex Tillerson, President-elect Donald Trump's nomination for Secretary of State. A penetrating, news-breaking study, Private Empire is a defining portrait of Big Oil in American politics and foreign policy.
