Make Sure You Have a Solid Accounting Background,

This review is from: Mergers & Acquisitions (Paperback)
Unless you have a firm understanding of accounting terms and practices, this book may not be the best reading material. It is, however, very detailed with great information regarding the strategies needed when considering a merger.

This review is from: Mergers & Acquisitions (Paperback)
J. Fred Watson is infinitely knowledgeable about the subject of M&A, but his writing style has to be the most boring uninteresting bunch of words thrown together I've ever read. One of the biggest weaknesses of the M&A class I am taking is his textbook. I have an on-line copy of ed. 4 and an ed. 3 hardback, beside the illustration being the most bland I've ever seen in my 36 years, he fails to highlight or make bold keywords, points and references in the book. The books themselves fail to be a tools for teaching as opposed to research papers. Furthermore rarely do you find any of the answers listed plainly in the text. The questions at the end of the chapter might ask you question that you have to go outside of the text for the answer. The assumption is you already have a background in Finance and Accounting.
Anyone who has to read any of the above mentioned works should be ready for frustrating borefest with terrible hard to understand charts and some of the worst explained examples of how to work the analysis portion of the mergers that I've ever seen in any book.
