Summary
It is now a well-know fact that mergers and acquisitions activity comes in waves. The most recent wave, the 5th takeover wave of the 1990s, was characterized by an unprecedented number of corporate restructurings in terms of mergers and acquisitions (M & As), public-to-private transactions, spin-offs and divestitures, and leveraged recapitalizations. Following the collapse of the stock market in March 2000, M & A activity slumped dramatically, but this pause ended in the second half of 2004 when takeover deals occurred again quite frequently. Indeed, some observers wonder whether the 6th takeover wave has started. The takeover wave in the 1990s was particularly remarkable in terms of size and geographical dispersion. For the first time, Continental European firms were as eager to participate as their US and UK counterparts, and M & A activity in Europe hit levels similar to those experienced in the US. Due to its financial impact and the unprecedented activity in Continental Europe, the 5th takeover wave of the 1990s and recent takeover activity (in biotech, utilities, pharmaceuticals) have triggered a great deal of interesting academic research. This volume brings together a selection of insightful papers. An impressive group of international authors address the following themes: takeover regulation; the cyclical pattern of the M & A markets and probable causes and effects; methods to determine the performance of success of M & A actions; cross border deals; means of payment and its effects; studies of hostile bids; high leverage takeovers and delistings. *A selection of the best and latest quantitative research on M & A activity worldwide *Impressive collection of international authors *Provides important insights and implications for practitioners.

Summary
'While organizational practice and contemporary literature on mergers seem predominantly focused on rational economic and managerial perspectives, Jinette de Gooijer explores the shadow side of these ventures. This book illuminates the enormous burden and losses that many, if not most, organizational members must face and endure. The underlying organizational psychodynamic of persecution and annihilation in mergers finds its expression in the book's title: 'The Murder in Merger'. It is a pioneering contribution to the issue of mergers and a unique socioanalytic masterpiece.'- Burkard Sievers.

Summary
The design or reorganization of a corporate organization should be discussed from the perspective of the supply and demand equilibrium in the market. But it is quite difficult to balance supply and demand by relying on the price mechanism of the market. The book investigates the impact of a takeover on a management's incentives to increase reported earnings. The book also analyzes the type of effects reorganizations have on the laws and regulations, while weighing the company law, accounting standards for financial instruments, tax law, other accounting principles and international standards such as the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and International Financial Reporting System (IFRS). Proposing a new institutional fundamentalism based on the merits of market competition, the book clarifies the features of public-to-private buyout in Japan, explaining the advantage of going-private transactions. The trend of public-to-private buyouts in Japan and the theoretical framework of public-to-private buyout deals are also dealt with in detail.
