InMasterminding the Deal, Peter Clark and Roger Mills, both financial experts experienced in the M&A field, examine past mergers and analyze performance in two critical areas —the identification of critical characteristics and attributes separating more successful mergers from the rest, and the synergy benefits — expenses, revenues, tax — that ensure maximum rewards. From this analysis they draw some conclusions and go on to identify seven key principles for merger success.

“The main objective of this book is to clear away a vast amount of past deficient analysis and to retrieve and reorganize what is of value in evaluating merger success and failure, using tough-minded criteria implanted in current finance,” says Bill Weinstein in the foreword.

The authors offer an action plan for the boards and executives involved in acquisitions, covering the questions of central importance: which target types to pursue and which to avoid, when to act, how much to pay and, uniquely, how to determine whether the deal is successful. Their intention is to assist companies in the M&A process and to avoid merger underperformance.

Masterminding The Dealis a great tool to improve merger success.  It starts with a very insightful analysis of why so many past mergers have failed, and then presents a very practical guidebook to help companies realistically appraise a deal’s chance of success and to identify ways to improve their chances of making a successful acquisition.
Essential guide to merger performance improvement and analysis Peter Clark and Roger Mills's book demonstrates the need to go beyond the hyperbole of M&A and to test the efficiency claims made.
