Description
Summary:In a roundtable discussion, Wayne L. Moore of Goldman Sachs & Co., Edward M. Rimland of Bear Stearns & Co., Herald L. Ritch of Donaldson Lufkin & Jenrette Securities, and Jonathan K. Rouner of Credit Suisse First Boston discuss the torrid pace of mergers and acquisitions. Buyers are doing bigger and more frequent deals because of the strong economy and the pressures to act decisively. M&A has graduated to the preferred development option for operating companies. Some of the issues discussed by the roundtable participants include pricing in context, price challenges to buyers, currency choices, and changing perspectives.
