Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>The authors discuss recent M&amp;A activity and the outlook for 2014. They then take a close look at one critical factor that might still sour many M&amp;A deals in 2014: the lack of involvement of corporate boards of directors. How can directors help to manage the risks of M&amp;A activity? What should they do? © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.</p> </abstract>
