Overview

Mastering M&A: Global and Indian Perspectives on Corporate Restructuring by Varadarajan Pattammal is a comprehensive guide designed to equip corporate managers, leaders, consultants, and business students with a deep and practical understanding of the strategic role of M&A in corporate growth and transformation. This book thoroughly explores the critical success factors, processes, strategies, and real-world applications of mergers and acquisitions, especially in the context of both Indian and global business environments. Structured to serve as both a textbook and a practical workbook, the book integrates detailed theoretical insights with numerous case studies, activities, assignments, and hands-on exercises. The author systematically explains key M&A concepts, including the types of mergers and acquisitions-horizontal, vertical, conglomerate, friendly, hostile, leveraged buyouts, and reverse mergers-and their respective strategic purposes. The book provides a step-by-step roadmap for developing an effective M&A strategy. It covers essential phases such as target identification, due diligence, valuation techniques, deal structuring, negotiation, regulatory approvals, and post-merger integration (PMI). Each step is illuminated through real-world examples and case studies from leading companies like Disney, Facebook, Amazon, Tata Motors, Reliance, and Vodafone, offering valuable lessons on both the triumphs and pitfalls of M&A transactions. The Indian context is particularly emphasized, with contemporary cases like the HDFC-HDFC Bank merger, Zomato's acquisition of Blinkit, Reliance's strategic moves in the retail sector, and Sun Pharma's acquisition of Ranbaxy, making the content highly relevant for Indian managers and policymakers. The book also explores the nuanced objectives driving M&A, such as market expansion, synergy realization, technology acquisition, diversification, and competitive positioning. It highlights the importance of cultural integration, risk management, and post-merger evaluation as pivotal factors for long-term M&A success. To facilitate learning and application, the book is enriched with role-play simulations, strategic debates, financial impact analyses, and group activities. These exercises are specifically designed to develop critical thinking, negotiation skills, and strategic planning capabilities in corporate leaders and students. In addition, the book offers key tasks for practitioners such as synergy mapping, risk assessment, and strategic rationale development, ensuring that readers can directly apply these tools in real-world corporate settings. With its balanced approach combining theoretical depth, practical application, Indian and global perspectives, and detailed case studies, Mastering M&A: Global and Indian Perspectives on Corporate Restructuring is an essential resource for corporate professionals aiming to master M&A strategies and drive successful corporate transformations.
