• Resumen

  • The article attributes the success of the acquisition of men's clothing chain Jos A. Bank by rival Men's Wearhouse to the aggressive stances taken by the two companies and their mutual activist investor. A background on the events that led to the finalization of the acquisition deal is presented. Evidence presented shows the growth in investor activism via acquisitions, sales and leadership changes such as the proactive role of Jos A. Bank and Men's Wearhouse to create shareholder value.
