Reorganizations and restructurings occur more frequently than their well-known siblings, mergers and acquisitions, and revolve around applications of valuation principles. Distressed Corporate Restructurings and Reorganizations, a  unique examination of these strategies, reflects this reality by moving logically from general valuation to the valuation of distressed restructurings. By providing a simple, sound economic framework for understanding restructurings and reorganizations, it emphasizes a technique-based approach. Cases and extensive analyses help readers understand situations, choose appropriate tools, make necessary adjustments, and execute plans.

Distressed Corporate Restructurings and Reorganizations is written by the past editor of Financial Management, the largest circulation journal in the field of finance, and a member of the Academic Advisory Committee for the Turnaround Management Association. Distinctly different from mergers and acquisitions textbooks, this book is a valuable tool that improves everyone's chances of making money.
