View Course Details
This course provides students with a deep understanding of the strategic, economic, and financial aspects related to mergers and acquisitions (M&A). We explore the entire M&A process, from identifying potential targets to post-deal integration. The course emphasizes not only the technical and the negotiation skills required for successful M&A execution. Key topics covered include strategic consideration, valuation, deal structure and design, negotiation skills, and post-deal integration. The course is designed to keep students engaged and involved in real time, offering a variety of learning formats, including negotiation with artificial intelligence bots, role plays, self-reflection, breakout room discussions, and other experiential learning tools, in addition to group projects of a recent deal evaluation, lectures, building financial models, and interacting with industry leaders.
