There is plenty of market lore about what influences a corporate acquisition’s probability of success. It took the authors of this book to produce a thorough, empirically supported answer to that question. Using a database of 40,000 transactions over a 40-year period, Lev and Gu identify a total of 43 factors that make an acquisition more likely to succeed or to fail. They provide a ten-factor model that is practical for investors to apply in assessing a given deal’s odds of beating the overall observed failure rate of 70%-75%. (That is twice the failure rate of internal projects reported by Wrike, Inc.)
Despite its quantitative rigor, The M&A Failure Trap is no dry recitation of statistics. The authors present their findings in colorful prose, not hesitating to point the finger at the parties and incentive arrangements they hold responsible for the appalling high failure rate. I especially like the case…

We know their hometown, who the band’s ex-members are, Ringo’s birth name, and which half of Lennon and McCartney wrote which songs credited to the duo. So it’s amazing how much this book reveals that almost nobody previously knew about the Fab Four.
Craig Brown recounts what happened when John Lennon finally got a chance to meet his boyhood sex fantasy Brigitte Bardot, describes outlandish members of the group’s entourage, and provides much more detailed accounts of the foursome’s financial fiascos than were widely known until now.
What I love most of all about this book is the author’s unique storytelling style. He delivers a punchline in one snippet, picks up the thread in the next, and abruptly introduces a new…

A distinctive portrait of the Fab Four by one of the sharpest and wittiest writers of our time
