Five Frogs on\u00a0 log. A CEOs field guide to accelerating the transition in mergers, acquisitions and gut wrenching change. Mark L. Feldman & Michael F. Spratt.1998 ISBN 988730981. PWCoopers commissioned a study of large M&As in the mid 90s. From that they developed an analysis of what worked well and what did not.\u00a0 This book is an offshoot from that study.\u00a0 Having worked on companies that they talk about in those times, this book is right on the money.\u00a0 It is a pithy, concise and well documented easy to read\u00a0 story of deeds and misdeed (mostly those).\u00a0\u00a0 Any CEO looking to buy or sell his company should make this a must read before they get drawn into the fray.\u00a0 Its is till in print and available on Amazon The examples and stories are worth the book itself.\u00a0\u00a0 I see many of our clients still missing the mark with the basics needed form this book.\u00a0 Number one, know the value drivers of your business.\u00a0 When you come to merge :<\/p>\n
