In his role as co-editor, Prof. Dr. Andreas Binder has significantly contributed to the success of this book.

In this book, renowned authors from academia and practice analyse mergers & acquisitions from a market, transaction and legal perspective. Their descriptions include an empirical knowledge and assistance for the future in equal measure. The book is targeted at M&A professionals in corporate and consulting practice, specialists in strategy departments and lawyers. It has also proven its worth in teaching and further education at universities.

The 3rd edition of the book has been completely revised to address current developments and their impact on the M&A market. Megatrends and current crises create uncertainties, opportunities and risks that need to be taken into account in M&A strategies. For example, the increasing importance of sustainability in the wake of climate change, advancing digitalisation including artificial intelligence as well as geopolitical tensions and their influence on corporate strategies and thus also on transaction activity and the implementation of M&A processes are addressed. The book has also been brought up to date with regard to the regulatory framework.
