If you want insight into how to structure a successful M&A transaction, download my new white paper profiling EMCs acquisition of Data Domain. We always go for maximum shareholder value, but we also want deals to succeed (because failed deals take buyers out of the M&A game for months or even years). The white paper explores the benchmarks for measuring success, and execution tips. Note also that our monthly webinar in September will feature a roundtable discussion on the same topic.
