De la contraportada

Nearly a decade has passed since Creating Value through Corporate Restructuring was originally published. During this time, the business and financial world has faced incredible challenges, and the practice of corporate restructuring has been transformed in a number of significant ways.

That's why Harvard Business School Professor Stuart Gilson, one of the leading corporate restructuring experts in the United States and a consultant to numerous companies, has created the Second Edition of this bestselling book. Emphasizing learning through analysis of real-world case studies, the book is organized around three modules, each highlighting a particular area of restructuring, including the restructuring of debt and liabilities, equity and assets, and employees' claims. By giving you a unique "insider's" perspective on these cases, this reliable resource will help you develop a deeper understanding of the restructuring process and how it impacts corporate financial performance and value.

Featuring thirteen additional new case studies and technical chapters, this book will equip you with the insights and tools that you will need to capitalize on future restructuring challenges and opportunities, and to create value for your shareholders and other constituencies. In addition to addressing new strategies and practices in corporate restructuring, the new cases in this book highlight a number of important industry sectors that have been particularly hard hit by economic turmoil?including retailing (Kmart), technology (Arch Wireless Communications and Seagate Technology), finance (The Finova Group), and auto manufacturing (Delphi). Along the way, other case studies will provide you with valuable insights into issues such as the investment strategies used by hedge funds to trade in the debt of distressed companies (Kmart), the increasing use of Chapter 11 as a platform for auctioning off bankrupt firms' assets (Adelphia Communications), credit derivatives (Delphi Corp. and the Credit Derivatives Market), corporate restructuring practices outside the United States (Groupe Eurotunnel S.A. and Buenos Aires Embotelladora S.A.), and equity split-offs, equity carve-outs, and share repurchases (DuPont).

Based on interviews with executives, investment bankers, attorneys, creditors, investors, and other key participants, the cases found here involve some of the most innovative, complex, and controversial restructurings of the past two decades, and represent a broad cross-section of management and restructuring challenges. Engaging and informative, they offer an inside look at how a corporate restructuring actually gets done, and how restructuring could financially impact a company and those associated with it.

As global markets continue to become more integrated and competitive, corporate restructuring will play an increasingly important role in how companies create value. With the Second Edition of Creating Value through Corporate Restructuring as your guide, you'll discover how to effectively weigh your restructuring options and choose the best path forward.
