"In a world where rapid technology development and adoption are forcing the pace of change, this book reminds us that human values and relationships are the foundation of all successful business dealings."

"Shows the unstoppable rise in the use of big data and AI in large M&A deals, which mirrors every other industry, including global sports such as football. And, just as we found in the sports industry where we argue that "the machine proposes but the human decides", Driessen, Faelten and Moeller show why the human element of deals will only become more important with the increasing use of technology to conduct deals. This is a must-read for anyone engaged in divestitures, acquisitions and large financial deals."

"A insightful and thought-provoking read for those involved in mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, as well as in the world of corporate finance. As deals have become part of the DNA of business strategy, so has the use of technology in advancing and accelerating the execution of the right transactions. Through the lens of experience, the authors use interviews and stories with leading dealmakers to highlight the impact of technology on today's deal market, and to forecast the likely implications of digital transformation to the M&A process. Whether an experienced investment banker or early career analyst, you need to read The Deal Paradox."
