“Cross-border M&A is the new norm in a globalized world. This book provides the nuts and bolts view of what it takes to be successful in this endeavor. The practical experience of the authors comes through in the book and that is very useful for anybody venturing into bringing together two companies from different geographies”

“The reader will find many decades of hands-on cross-cultural leadership synthetized in practical concepts. The authors splendidly combine a holistic depiction with great depth on the critical topics. A must-read if you play any relevant role in a cross-border M&A or PMI.”
—Helio A. Castano, Vice President, Administration and Integration, Bar-S Foods
“Most recent books about M&A focus on the need to ensure that the integration is based on the objectives and value drivers of the acquisition. In this book Whitaker takes this approach a step further by applying a crossborder lens. The result is both a good read and a great reference book for the M&A practitioner.”
—Pat Belotti, Director of Corporate Development Integration, DocuSign
“A rich database for everyone involved in cross-border M&As; in many cases a ‘must’ in today’s world with globally distributed value chains. The combination of both breadth and depth in one context will attract both professional managers and readers in search of knowledge in this area for the first time.”
—Arne Karlsson, Departing Chairman and Former CEO, Ratos
“Given my role at an M&A software company, I have read a library of M&A books. Cross-Border Mergers and Acquisitions easily rises to the must-read category for M&A practitioners at all levels. The material covers all topics comprehensively, makes complex situations easily understandable, and provides actionable advice to planning and executing global deals.”
—Ari J. Salonen, PhD, President, Midaxo
“Cross-border mergers and acquisitions are among the very few strategic moves that can change the competitive position of a company almost overnight. This book provides a unique and comprehensive perspective on how cross-border M&As must be prepared, executed, and managed over the long run. It is a must-read for executives, consultants, and students interested in the topic.”
—Bernard Garrette, Professor of Strategy and MBA Associate Dean, HEC Paris
“China’s cross-border M&A thrives in recent years as the result of great success in economic growth. Besides sustained enthusiasm of inbound investments, capital-rich Chinese investors are increasingly interested in overseas valuable assets, not only in order to acquire natural resources or market entry but also to fulfill the capability gaps in technologies, management, and so on. I find that this book provides comprehensive and practical knowledge in cross-border M&A and believe that it could be helpful for those emerging Chinese players and their global counterparts.”—Yi Bao, CEO, Morgan Stanley Huaxin Securities, and Managing Director, Morgan Stanley
