'I strongly recommend this book for publication. I truly believe that its publication is timely and the market will love it. I will recommend it to my students and to my colleagues. The book is appropriate to use as a text for the following courses: 1. Mergers and acquisitions - core 2. Strategic Management - core 3. Strategic Alliances and Joint Ventures - core 4. International/Global Strategy/Management - supplementary' - Shlomo Tarba, College of Management, Israel 'There is a gap in the market for a text that combines M&A and strategic alliances. I would recommend it to students on my M&A module as supplementary reading and students on Research Methods in Mergers as core.' - Ben Ukaegbu, Leeds Metropolitan Business School, UK 'This is the first book to provide thorough descriptions and discussion about Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) and Strategic Alliances (SA). It is also the first to compare these important strategic alternatives that are the main mode for internationalization. The book is an important addition to the current knowledge, for academic, practitioners and students of business administration and international management.' - Professor Drori, Tel-Aviv University, Israel
