Title: Classroom Lecture
Product review: In reading Big Deal by Bruce Wasserstein, I was hoping to get true inside information from someone who professes to be a big player in the merger and acquisitions market. The first two parts of the book, however, felt more like I was reading a text on the history of mergers in corporate America.Mr. Wasserstein does get around to discussing the strategy involved in doing a deal and also in defending against one in the third part. The impact of this is diluted though due to Mr. Wasserstein's use of glossary definitions to define the terms that he uses.The profiles throughout the book are a nice touch. Big Deal would have been more of a good read if it had focused more on these profile cases and people as opposed to the classroom lecture attitude that was adopted.
