A powerful guide for seeking out the best acquisition and merger targets As increasingly more companies look to mergers and acquisitions (M&As) as a source of new growth and revenue, there is an even greater chance that these M&As will go bad.

He is actively engaged in the practice of business valuations for mergers and acquisitions, as well as other related applications.
