….Large businesses can no longer afford to remain isolated. Transnational Expansion is in most cases, the key to survival. One of the methods is to enter foreign markets to ensure movement of capital and ghouls through transactional mergers and acquisitions.
Dr. Ramesh has covered the subject from all angles including the synergies emerging from such mergers and acquisitions. He has dealt with the subject from a broad prism of statutes of the USA, UK and the EU and has analysed them from the Indian perspective. He has dealt with all the vital areas including law, purpose and practical issues, relevant for and to be borne in mind, while venturing into CBMAs.
The book would be useful to lawyers, law students, industry professionals and chartered accountants alike. It should be fine guide to those who wish to acquire basic knowledge on the subject
- Justice Raja Shaker Mantha, Judge, High Court At Calcutta.
Having Obtained a Doctorate of Philosophy (Ph. D) in law for his thesis on Cross Border Mergers and Acquisitions, the author has mastered the intricacies of the subject while making a Comparative Study of the Legal Framework and Procedure in India and the USA. Moreover, the author has put immense effort to simplify the subject so that even a layman can understand well the world of cross-border mergers and acquisitions.
In dealing with Impact on CBMA and prevention of fraud in CBMA, the author made a very detailed analysis and a laudable explanation which will surely give the reader more insights about the subject.
- Justice B. Krishna Mohan, Judge, High Court of Andhra Pradesh, Amaravati, Guntur.
Coming to the present research work, I can say this is one of the novel topics which has contemporary relevance though titled as legal framework but interdisciplinary approach a combination/blend of Management and Business Studies too. The theoretical presentation of the choppers is a lucid and very much information, interesting, the terminology of the International business is very well explained, and the linkage between the chapters is apt and convincing. The research design and the development is well articulated and addressed the gaps with the detailed justification by citing suitable research studies. The construction, flow and uses of English language appear at the free and hence appreciable.
- Justice Dr. Bulusu Siva Sankara Rao, M. Com., LL.M. Ph.D., LL.D.(Post-Doctoral Fellow), Judge-Judicial Preview, Andhra Pradesh.
It is remarkable that a seasoned Senior Police Officer of the Indian Police Service has been able to find time, energy and inclination to do an incisive study of such diverse topics as security of state and an important aspect of the corporate ladder such as "Cross Border Mergers and Acquisitions". It shows his thirst for knowledge and urge to share it with others by publishing his work.
- JUSTICE M. S. RAMA CHANDRA RAO, JUDGE, HIGH COURT FOR THE STATE OF TELANGANA
This book gives a comprehensive and lucid presentation on cross-border mergers and acquisitions framework in India, including a good insight into the interplay between the Companies Act, FEMA, SEBI Regulations, etc. it also makes an in-depth comparative analysis of the CBMA framework obtaining in India and the US. It should serve as a useful reference book for students, practitioners and policymakers.
- SRINIVAS INJETI, IAS
CBMA is particularly interesting because it is one such topic that is multidisciplinary nature and brings out the disciplines like economics, management (finance and strategy, in particular) and law together. Therefore, who but a scholar in all the three fields-- Dr. B. N. Ramesh, can address this topic more eloquently!! As an Indian Police Service Officer, and a double PhD holder, Dr. Ramesh is uniquely placed to address this topic from multiple perspectives. Dr Ramesh starts with the historical perspective of the CBMA, and extends his analysis to the current day laws and regulations that govern CBMA, especially in the US India relations…. Another nice feature of the book is, it provides a comprehensive perspective on how various laws-- competition law intellectual property law, et cetera-play a role in CBMA. Both for personal and professional reasons, I have the privilege of knowing Dr B. N. Ramesh for a while. In fact, I had the opportunity to have several in-depth conversations with him on several matters relating to economics, statistics, politics, national security, et cetera. In all these interactions, if there is one thing that catches my attention, it is his erudition-- the same erudition that comes across in his book as well.
