Case Studies In Finance:Managing For Corporate Value Creation

"Before reading The Panic of 1907, the year 1907 seemed like a long time ago and a different world. The authors, however, bring this story alive in a fast-moving book, and the reader sees how events of that time are very relevant for today's financial world. In spite of all of our advances, including a stronger monetary system and modern tools for managing risk, Bruner and Carr help us understand that we are not immune to a future crisis." —Dwight B. Crane, Baker Foundation Professor, Harvard Business School 
"Bruner and Carr provide a thorough, masterly, and highly readable account of the 1907 crisis and its management by the great private banker J. P. Morgan. Congress heeded the lessons of 1907, launching the Federal Reserve System in 1913 to prevent banking panics and foster financial stability. We still have financial problems. But because of 1907 and Morgan, a century later we have a respected central bank as well as greater confidence in our money and our banks than our great-grandparents had in theirs." —Richard Sylla, Henry Kaufman Professor of the History of Financial Institutions and Markets, and Professor of Economics, Stern School of Business, New York University "A fascinating portrayal of the events and personalities of the crisis and panic of 1907. Lessons learned and parallels to the present have great relevance. Crises and panics are as much a part of our future as our past." —John Strangfeld, Vice Chairman, Prudential Financial "Who would have thought that a hundred years after the Panic of 1907 so much remained to be written about it? Bruner and Carr break significant new ground because they are willing to do the heavy lifting of combing through massive archival material to identify and weave together important facts. Their book will be of interest not only to banking theorists and financial historians, but also to business school and economics students, for its rare ability to teach so clearly why and how a panic unfolds." —Charles Calomiris, Henry Kaufman Professor of Financial Institutions, Columbia University, Graduate School of Business

Deals from Hell: M&A Lessons That Rise Above the Ashes

Deals From Hell: A Lessons That Rise Above The Ashes

A detailed look at the worst M&amp;A deals ever and the lessons learned from them It's common knowledge that about half of all merger and acquisition (M&amp;A) transactions destroy value for the buyer's shareholders, and about three-quarters fall short of the expectations prevailing at the time the deal is announced. In Deals from Hell, Robert Bruner, one of the foremost thinkers and educators in this field, uncovers the real reasons for these mishaps by taking a closer look at twelve specific instances of M&amp;A failure. Through these real-world examples, he shows readers what went wrong and why, and converts these examples into cautionary tales for executives who need to know how they can successfully navigate their own M&amp;A deals. These page-turning business narratives in M&amp;A failure provide much-needed guidance in this area of business. By addressing the key factors to M&amp;A success and failure, this comprehensive guide illustrates the best ways to analyze, design, and implement M&amp;A deals. Filled with in-depth insights, expert advice, and valuable lessons gleaned from other M&amp;A transactions, Deals from Hell helps readers avoid the common pitfalls associated with this field and presents them with a clear framework for thinking about how to make any M&amp;A transaction a success.

Deals from Hell: M&A Lessons that Rise Above the Ashes

A comprehensive guide to the world of mergers and acquisitions Why do so many M&amp;A transactions fail? And what drives the success of those deals that are consummated? Robert Bruner explains that M&amp;A can be understood as a response by managers to forces of turbulence in their environment.

Written by one of the foremost thinkers and educators in the field, this invaluable resource teaches readers the art and science of M&amp;A valuation, deal negotiation, and bargaining, and provides a framework for considering tradeoffs in an effort to optimize the value of any M&amp;A deal.
