As a number of Western economies begin to emerge from the shadows of recession, the level of merger and acquisition activity has picked up dramatically. Although CEOs predict synergies in mapping out a merger or acquisition, the reality is far from the rhetoric. The Advances in mergers and acquisitions series is in its 14th year, and research in this field continues to grow, and help highlight the inhibitors and enhancers for successful M & As. These ten chapters explore sequential aspects of the M & A process, from the pre-combination phase, to issues that should be taken into account when considering a merger or acquisition, to post-merger integration concerning the determinants of acquisition performance. Contributing authors: Fadi Alkarraan, Nima Amiryany, Terrill Frantz, John Howard, Jochem T. Hummel, Alexei Koveshnikov, Rebecca Lund, Sigmar Malvezzi, Kenneth Marks, Mitchell Marks, Katty Marmemout, Muriel Mignerat, Phillip Mirvis, Ladislau Nascimento, Kamal Ghosh Ray, Sangita Ghosh Ray, Janne Tienari.

Prudent, verifiable, and timely corporate accounting is a bedrock of our modern capitalist system. In recent years, however, the rules that govern corporate accounting have been subtly changed in ways that compromise these core principles, to the detriment of the economy at large. These changes have been driven by the private agendas of certain corporate special interests, aided selectively-and sometimes unwittingly-by arguments from business academia With Political Standards, Karthik Ramanna develops the notion of "thin political markets" to describe a key problem facing technical rule-making in corporate accounting and beyond. When standard-setting boards attempt to regulate the accounting practices of corporations, they must draw on a small pool of qualified experts-but those experts almost always have strong commercial interests in the outcome. Meanwhile, standard setting rarely enjoys much attention from the general public. This absence of accountability, Ramanna argues, allows corporate managers to game the system. In the profit-maximization framework of modern capitalism, the only practicable solution is to reframe managerial norms when participating in thin political markets. Political Standards will be an essential resource for understanding how the rules of the game are set, whom they inevitably favor, and how the process can be changed for a better capitalism.
