Book Description
"Krallinger has done an excellent job presenting a balanced view of both the opportunities and pitfalls for buyer and seller in the M&A game--a comprehensive discussion of "the process" from the numbers to the all important human factors".--James Hamling, President, Berwind Industries, Inc. Do you have the know-how to assess a potential deal before committing your company's time and money, and then structure the deal so that both sides are satisfied? Can you "Cross the T's and dot the I's that are so critical for finalizing a successful merger or acquisition? Mergers & Acquisitions: Managing the Transaction is the first book to walk you through the entire M&A process whether you are a buyer OR a seller. From Chapter 1 (The Urge to Merge) through Chapter 12 (managing the Closing and Post-Closing Issues) Joseph Krallinger's detailed and insightful book includes all the information you will need, PLUS detailed appendixes covering both legal paperwork and purchase investigation work, to help you arrive at a profitable and advantangeous deal. Sample topics include: Standard merger and Acquisition Pitfalls; Accurate Valuation of a Business or Product Line; Venturing, Cross-Licensing and Partnering.

Excellent Primer, Not for The Detailed Practicioner.......2002-06-15
At a very high level, Krallinger hits the right points for someone totally unfamilliar with the territory. His bulletted writing style makes for quick, easy reading, but requires you to do the reflection on them later on. I sympathize with other reviewers who found this book pithy and shallow, but they may have been looking for a much more detailed tome. This book prepares the reader to recognize at a high level what the issues are and provides a framework for working through them. That's it. It was perfect for me -- I had one night to think of good things to say before making a presentation that included some M&A issues the next day. All I needed was to be able to identify the issues. For that this is an excellent book. If you really spend time to deconstruct the bullet points, it is probably more profound, and for better or worse, the author left that work to the reader instead of writing a 1,000 page book.
Let us be serious!.......2001-09-14
This book insults the intelligence of any reader who owns at least one neurone. It also insults other true books concerning mergers and acquisitions. The advices the book contains are like this: "Warning! Don't pay twice for a company. You pay once when you buy it, and you could pay twice if you need to restructure it". Please, pick your brains!
Merge This Book with a Trash Can.......2000-03-15
I had hoped to use this book as a training tool for my staff - - it's promoted as a guide to the process. However, after evaluating a copy, I believe the better course of action is to have them watch my six year old trade Pokemon cards. There is more logic and strategy behind his activity than in this entire book.
Total waste of paper........1998-09-24
This book is characterized by poor writing, sloppy reasoning, and shallow content. Look elsewhere unless you have too much time and money on your hands.
This book is a stinker!!.......1998-08-25
I struggled to read this diatribe on Mr. Krallinger's years of M&A experience. The author tries to layout the M&A process to the average business person. He provides an appendix full of checklists, a timeline, and some very common sense do's and don't's. The rest of the book is filled with the author's unsubstantiated assertions, poor economic thinking, and xenophobic biases.
I brought the book to better understand the M&A process from a gritty, in-the-trenches prospective, but walked away feeling that I wasted my time filtering out the author's failings to find a few good nuggets.
Don't waste your time and money on this one.

Better than reading manuals to an extent.......2007-07-03
Presents a logical flow of the product and its usage. Although it is not written for the most current version of the product, the basics and details it covers are still very relevant. The book provides a much better collection/organization of material than reading through the myriad of product manuals, but it doesn't replace them.
There were a number of times that I jumped between the book and the manuals to really get the usage down.
Overall, I wish I had this book up front before I started working with the product. It sheds some light on items hard to locate in the manuals.
Covers a lot with tons of Acronyms - Confusing.......2004-04-22
There is a lot of information. Unfortunately there are hundreds of acronyms, most of them specific to Tuxedo programming. It becomes tedious boring reading as more later terms are described in older terms/acronyms. There are some diagrams but I did not find them particularly useful. Mostly architectural descriptions. Not a lot of working examples. Again, the reading is dry, but I'm not sure there is a better alternative out there on this topic.
An illution of simplicity.......2000-05-02
I find this book rather poorly structured. The authors have not decided if this is a book for developers or for administrators, and they try to make it a book for both. I think they have ended ut writing a book for nobody.
All code fragments need another look. I know that they are not intended for a compiler, but I think they should at least look that way.
As in most TUXEDO documentation the authors have a hard time getting to the point. Technical computer litterature can be a lot more pedagogic and easy to read than this!
A Model For Computer Books.......2000-03-24
This book is written the way books in this field should be written! Take note computer community, the authors of this book have not simply compiled an encyclopedia, but have carefully crafted a book. Early chapters provide theory and and lay the foundation for the detailed chapters that follow, covering everything from transactions to MIBS. Useful examples are povided, and it is impossible to finish this book without a conversational understanding of Tuxedo. If you need to know the difference between an RPC, FML buffer, and an RM, get the book!
Excellent Work.......1999-07-31
Great introduction to Tuxedo. What I like the most is the completeness of the book. In other words, they define all their terms and assume no prior knowledge. I got up to speed very quickly on Tuxedo thanks to this book.
Book Description
This book provides the first summary and critical appraisal of the thinking that currently informs the management of business relationships, from the perspectives of both the buyer and supplier. The authors argue that these approaches are one-dimensional and instead recommend a more holistic approach based on power, interaction and portfolio perspectives. The book provides evidence of how relationships can be aligned and misaligned in practice, using eighteen examples drawn from a variety of business cases and circumstances.

Book Description
Of particular interest for its application to business strategizing, this edition of the well-known ancient Chinese classic I Ching (The Book of Changes) guides readers through the intricacies of group dynamics and relationships within organizations of all kinds. The root text is supported by a commentary from the eleventh-century scholar Cheng-Yi, founder of the movement known as Lixue, the "study of inner design." Cheng contended that by understanding the pattern of events—the inner design of nature—one can bring about mutual understanding and cooperation among people in groups, thus facilitating the accomplishment of any tasks they might undertake. The translator's extensive introduction gives specific, systematic guidelines for consulting the I Ching for greatest understanding and best results. Included in the afterward is a profile of the modern and Japanese organizational genius Matsushita Konosuke, founder of Panasonic and other multinational corporations, whose success has been built on the principles of the I Ching.
Customer Reviews:
Superb Commentary.......2000-07-04
Cheng Yi's commentary on the I Ching is the clearest and most practical one around. While there is no mention of the hexagram images, the insightful comments on the individual lines are outstanding and more than make up for the omission. The book is worth far more than its price.

Book Description
Scholars have long believed agriculture to be the main economic base of Ancient Greece, and until now, this view remained uncontested.
Ancient Greek Agriculture examines the art of cultivation, the tools, the technique, the plants cultivated and the animals raised. In light of the fact that Greek agriculture in the period of the city-states was rather primitive, the authors question whether agriculture was, in fact, the main source of wealth in Ancient Greece.
Ancient Greek Agriculture relies upon the close study of contemporary Greek sources--literary as well as archaeological--and in this way avoids the use of Roman sources and other materials from a later period.
