Mergercast by Booz & Company Releases Podcast Episode 10 - 'The Next Big Thing: 7 Ways For Dealmakers to Make Money Tomorrow'

The podcast features Justin Pettit, a Vice President at Booz & Company, who spoke at last month's Wall Street Journal Deals & Deal Makers 2007 conference.

New York, NY (PRWEB) July 17, 2007 -- Mergercast by Booz & Company has released "Episode 10 -- The Next Big Thing: 7 Ways For Dealmakers to Make Money Tomorrow."

The episode's guest is Justin Pettit, a Vice President at Booz & Company who spoke on the topic at last month's Wall Street Journal Deals & Deal Makers 2007 conference. Referencing data developed by Booz & Company industry specialists, Pettit presents insight into specific global trends -- including rising energy prices, R&D outsourcing in China and India, and software's impact on manufacturing -- and explains just how dealmakers can leverage these ideas.

"The ability to understand emerging global trends is critical for dealmakers in an increasingly complex and fast-moving world. Justin's talk at The Wall Street Journal Deals & Deal Makers 2007 conference looks at a number of counterintuitive trends that have broad implications for merger professionals. In addition to hearing Justin speak, listeners also can follow along with the conference slide presentation, which is available on our Mergercast by Booz Allen Hamilton site," says Gerald Adolph, Booz & Company Senior Vice President and leader of its mergers and restructuring group, which produces Mergercast by Booz & Company.

Author of the recently published ''Strategic Corporate Finance: Applications in Valuation & Capital Structure'' (Wiley, 2007), Pettit specializes in financial restructuring and shareholder value issues at Booz & Company as well as the financial aspects of merger and restructuring events.
