This book explores these changes, focusing on the economic, political, and social (EPS) processes of M\u0026amp;A and challenging the view that it is static, linear, and predictable. It provides a conceptual framework to identify, understand, and address the stakeholder and management implications of M\u0026amp;A activity, with four case studies demonstrating how complex stakeholder relationships play out and how these power dynamics were managed. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 138 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 29 January 2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Taylor \u0026amp; Francis Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe coronavirus pandemic has sparked a significant surge in public scrutiny of the market economy and the societal role of businesses. This scrutiny is closely tied to merger and acquisition (M\u0026amp;A) activity, which has resulted in significant disruptions to stakeholder relationships and their management. In response to these developments, this book delves into the evolving landscape of M\u0026amp;A, shifting its focus away from the traditional financial and strategic dimensions and adopting a more comprehensive approach that encompasses economic, political, and social (EPS) factors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy viewing M\u0026amp;A activity as EPS processes, author Segal offers a dialectical understanding of stakeholder relationships surrounding M\u0026amp;A and challenges the notion that M\u0026amp;A is a static, linear, and predictable endeavor. He develops a conceptual framework to assist practitioners, researchers, policymakers, and other stakeholders in identifying, comprehending, and addressing the stakeholder and management implications of M\u0026amp;A activity. This framework is applied to four case studies, which vividly illustrate how complex stakeholder dynamics unfold during M\u0026amp;A and how different power balances were managed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is of immense value to academics, researchers, managers, advisors, investors, analysts, and other stakeholders who seek to gain a deeper understanding of the EPS implications and processes associated with M\u0026amp;A. It underscores the importance of recognizing and addressing the multifaceted challenges and opportunities that arise in this dynamic domain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 453g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032207810\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SimonSegal,JamesGuthrie,JohnDumay","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":45179465990394,"sku":"9781032207810","price":42.83,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_7523c350-ebf9-4f61-b1c1-b26e946f5391.jpg?v=1707753900","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/reframing-mergers-and-acquisitions-around-stakeholder-relationships-economic-political-and-social-processes-9781032207810","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
