Please leave me alone !!!!!!!!!!!

Why would I take that course and learn Mergers and Acquisitions ?????????????????????

A good question, but if you think that your company is far away from mergers and Acquisitions, you are wrong!!!

What wrong? why do you say so Sam?

Because, all companies are looking for synergies and alliances to strengthen their position in the market. Mergers and acquisition can provide a safe path for growing businesses. Look around you, read Finance articles and watch Business shows, you would know that mergers and Acquisitions are closer to you than you might think. If you search for past Mergers and Acquisitions deals, you would believe my words. Look at the Chinese and American markets and see how many deals took place already and how many cases are under negotiations by now?
