Reframing Mergers and Acquisitions Around Stakeholder Relationships: Economic, Political and Social Processes

Segal provides a dialectic understanding of stakeholder relationships around merger and acquisition (M&A) activity and challenges the view that it is static, linear, and predictable. Useful for academics and professionals, this book highlights the need to understand the economic, political and social processes involved around M&A.

He was awarded his PhD in 2021 for a thesis titled ＂Understanding and managing dynamic stakeholder relationships around mergers and acquisitions.＂ He started the Australian bureau of Mergermarket in 2005, was Australia bureau chief and editor of Dealreporter Asia and is currently Editorial Consultant at Dealreporter and a director at Mergermarket Australia.
