This workbook arms human resource professionals with the guidance they need to understand and implement best practices in acquisition planning and integration.

It covers acquisition strategy development, target company analysis, due diligence and integration planning — specifically from the standpoint of HR professionals' responsibilities in the merger and acquisition process.

The workbook is based on real-life case studies, as well as the results of a major national study (the largest of its kind), that examine the role of HR today in all facets of M&A planning and integration.

Written by Mark Clemente and David Greenspan - leading M&A consultants and authors of the Amazon.com best-seller Winning at Mergers and Acquisitions (John Wiley & Sons, 1998) - this workbook is the single-most important source of information on M&A planning and integration for HR professionals today.
