    Business Expert Press has just published /Mergers and Acquisitions:
    Turmoil in Top Management Teams/ by Jeffrey A. Krug (Virginia
    Commonwealth University).

    Mergers & Acquisitions provides executives with an in-depth look at the
    consequences of M&As for acquired top management teams. It examines M&As
    as a corporate growth strategy, the importance of top management teams
    to a firm’s long-term performance, the reasons why executives depart
    after an acquisition, and the effects of these departures on target
    company performance. It debates when executive turnover may be desirable
    or undesirable and how acquiring firms can more effectively manage
    target company executive teams during the integration process. An
    understanding of these leadership issues will play an important role in
    determining merger success.

    The book is part of the strategic management and corporate governance
    series edited by Mason Carpenter (University of Wisconsin) and Ken
    Merchant (University of Southern California). Business Expert Press

    "This book presents new perceptions from Jeff’s years of research in
    M&As. I highly recommend it to executives involved in the merger
    integration process."
