<p>Many organizations find themselves open to a hostile takeover bid and this book, with a comprehensive case study approach, offers an understanding of what can happen, why and how to manoeuvre from under a hostile takeover. "Hostile Takeovers" presents a case study analysis of this make or break issue, disclosing the strategies and outcomes of over 40 hostile takeovers. Through these cases, the authors offer both guidance and specific takeover strategies and how to overcome them. They also draw out general conclusions - bringing new ideas on, for example, how takeovers can affect the long-term success of an organization. The text looks at takeover bids on Bassett Foods, Marina Developments and Piccadilly Radio, among others.</p>

The Economic Analysis of Accounting Profitability

<p>An examination of the economic analysis of the principles of accounting, this book shows that there are a number of questions for which appropriately constructed accounting data can give precise answers: whether there should be entry to or exit from an industry by a firm, for example, or whether or not a particular project should be undertaken. It not only highlights the importance of thinking clearly about the questions which are being answered with the use of accounting data; it also shows how accounts should be constructed in order to answer these questions. The authors address in particular two issues that are of great current interest in accounting--the appropriate way to adjust accounts for inflation, and the appropriate treatment of deferred taxation in accounts--and provide an analysis of the precise corrections required for both.</p>
