Übernahme von Kaiser's Tengelmann durch Edeka. Die deutsche Zusammenschlusskontrolle

The specialist book "The Acquisition of Kaiser’s Tengelmann by Edeka: German Merger Control" offers a comprehensive analysis of the complex subject of German merger control in the context of competition law. Written by Thomas Werner, the study examines the legal framework and the procedures of the antitrust authorities in assessing corporate acquisitions. The focus is on the specific case of Edeka's acquisition of Kaiser’s Tengelmann, which was prohibited by the Federal Cartel Office. The work is divided into various sections that address both the theoretical foundations of merger control and the practical aspects of the procedural process. Readers gain valuable insights into the criteria that play a role in the examination of mergers and acquisitions, as well as the challenges arising from increasing market concentration. This well-founded analysis is particularly interesting for students and professionals in the fields of economics and law.
