Franco Fiordelisi

Chapter 1 in Mergers and Acquisitions in European Banking, 2009, pp 1-8 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This book deals with the analysis of Mergers and Acquisitions (M&As) in the European banking markets. One might address the following four questions: 1. Why a book on M&A? 2. Why banks? 3. Why in Europe? 4. Is it necessary to have another contribution to the M&A debate?
