Rezensionen
Reviews from the first edition:

'Acquisition: Strategy and Implementation is an excellent book...read it now rather than waiting to hear that your employer is acquiring another company or is being acquired.' - Ambassador

'I found myself nodding in agreement and mouthing the occasional 'Aha!' as I read, and I think other HR professionals will do the same...I found a wealth of good advice, tools and checklists here...readable, clearly laid out and packed full of good practical advice. It is essential reading for anyone who is involved in, or contemplating a merger or acquisition and I, for one, will be keeping it close to hand.' - Martin Hayton, HR Director, Cable & Wireless Communications, in People Management

'Nancy Hubbard's excellent study provides [an] interesting assessment of the way people behave during an acquisition and gives clear practical guidance about the issues to be faced.' - Sir David Rowland, Deputy Chairman, Natwest Group
