Beyond the Bank
When Hugh McColl Jr. stepped down as Bank of America's chairman and CEO, he believed that irrelevancy would be his companion in retirement. Twenty years on, nothing has proved further from the truth. As a close friend puts it, McColl demonstrates almost daily how to "live fully alive" This is the story of those two post-retirement decades, during which McColl has experenced the satisfaction of creating, building, and then exiting a handful of businesses -- from a richly profitable mergers and acquisitions firm to a boutique art gallery that left him with disquieting losses. He emerged from the great recession with a private equity firm that has rolled from one successful financial success to another. Nothing has proven more satisfying to him than using his personal resources and deep reservoir of social capital to connect social entrepreneurs and underwrite the possibilities of Black capitalists. McColl remains not only relevant but an integral component in a city that bears his imprint, from the Bank of America tower in Uptown Charlotte, North Carolina, to the opportunities he continues to create for others throughout the community.

Applied Mergers and Acquisitions
A comprehensive guide to the world of mergers and acquisitions Why do so many M&A transactions fail? And what drives the success of those deals that are consummated? Robert Bruner explains that M&A can be understood as a response by managers to forces of turbulence in their environment. Despite the material failure rates of mergers and acquisitions, those pulling the trigger on key strategic decisions can make them work if they spend great care and rigor in the development of their M&A deals. By addressing the key factors of M&A success and failure, Applied Mergers and Acquisitions can help readers do this. Written by one of the foremost thinkers and educators in the field, this invaluable resource teaches readers the art and science of M&A valuation, deal negotiation, and bargaining, and provides a framework for considering tradeoffs in an effort to optimize the value of any M&A deal.
Née Mccoll
"They arrived at the battlefield at dusk. The shooting was becoming more sporadic as it was difficult for soldiers to aim through the heavy smoke at twilight. The three of them picked up as many injured soldiers as they could and stacked them in the buckboard for transport back to the Old House. Furniture was moved out of the living room and the wounded were made as comfortable as possible on palettes on the floor. When Sherman's scouts came through, they declared the Old House to be a hospital. It seems that in the dark, poor Lucy was picking up Union soldiers as well as our Rebs, and once daylight hit, simple Christianity won out. We children were savage enough to be thrilled to have the bloodstains of that long ago time permanently embedded in the wooden floors." Née McColl brings alive the cultural heritage of being a South Carolina McColl. Poverty, Rationing, Education, Grits, and Rapists, as seen through a child's eyes will make you relive those bittersweet, simpler days following WW I.
