With acquisition activity running into the trillions of dollars, the acquisition alternative continues to be the favorite corporate growth strategy of this generation's executives. Unfortunately, creating shareholder value remains the most elusive outcome of these corporate strategies. After decades of research and billions of dollars paid in advisory fees, why do these major decisions continue to destroy value? Building on his groundbreaking research first cited in Business Week, Mark L. Sirower explains how companies often pay too much -- and predictably never realize the promises of increased performance and competitiveness -- in their quest to acquire other companies. Armed with extensive evidence, Sirower destroys the popular notion that the acquisition premium represents potential value. He provides the first formal and functional definition for synergy -- the specific increases in performance beyond those already expected for companies to achieve independently. Sirower's refreshing nuts-and-bolts analysis of the fundamentals behind acquisition performance cuts sharply through the existing folklore surrounding failed acquisitions, such as lack of "strategic fit" or corporate culture problems, and gives managers the tools to avoid predictable losses in acquisition decisions. Using several detailed examples of recent major acquisitions and through his masterful integration and extension of techniques from finance and business strategy, Sirower reveals:- The unique business gamble that acquisitions represent
- The managerial challenges already embedded in current stock prices
- The competitive conditions that must be met and the organizational cornerstones that must be in place for any possibility of synergy
- The precise Required Performance Improvements (RPIs) implicitly embedded in acquisition premiums and the reasons why these RPIs normally dwarf realistic performance gains
- The seductiveness and danger of sophisticated valuation models so often used by advisers

Well made for organization
Color: Brown
The trays were purchased for my brother who has Parkinson’s disease. He’s able to pick things out of it with the low side profile. One sits on the top of his dresser and the other inside a drawer. They seem to be quality made.

Works Great
Color: Black
Got this for my office desk to keep everything arranged and the valet tray works out perfectly. The leather is holding up nicely, and the black color looks great on my desk. Everything fits nicely, and the little door on top swings with ease.
The inner lining has a nice material thought it either wasn't fit right to the boxes, or it has delaminated so on some of the longer edges, I need to reglue them back to the sides. Once I do that, it'll be perfect.
If the manufacturer is reading this review, please take a look at the adhesive used. Other than that it is beautiful and recommend.
