The evidence is undeniable - most mergers fail and most acquisitions never achieve their promised synergies. Yet firms keep bidding top prices to acquire targets. Economists have a name for this phenomenon: the winner's curse. This theory says that the winner in any auction is apt to be the bidder who has most drastically overestimated the purchase's value. The winner, in this case, turns out to be a real loser. Authors Kenneth R. Ferris and Barbara S. Pecherot Petitt present compelling examples of companies that overpaid disastrously for acquisitions. They outline several approaches to valuation that might spare other companies from that sorry fate. We recommend this comprehensive and quite directly applicable book, which is full of cautionary notes and recommendations on how and when to use various valuation models. Why do companies continue to flirt with the winner's curse? The authors conclude, perhaps naively, that companies simply don't know how to correctly value their targets. Whatever the cause, there continue to be many cases where losing, rather than winning, would be a blessing to shareholders.

I took a course offered by Ken Ferris before the book was published, then read the material. It reminded me of a lot of the insights that I gained from the course. Good book for practitioners.

This book, and another by Ferris, was a required textbook for a class taught by the author (Ferris) at the school where he teaches. It is an indication of the respect that the other Finance and Accounting profs have for Prof Ferris that his books are used by no other profs there- in fact, many riducle the simple errors and theoretical mistakes that are present in this book. As a guide to valuation of public firms, this book is useful only in outlining a simplisitc cookie-cutter format that lacks any depth or analysis.
