Subject:

Description:

This course covers three advanced topics in corporate finance: raising capital, mergers and acquisitions, and real options. Module 1 covers financial markets, instruments, and institutions, with the primary focus being on the capital raising and financing activities of firms at different stages in their life cycle. One of the critical activities a company must do well to succeed is the raising of capital. The when, where, and how of raising capital is the focus of the module. Module 2 uses an analytical framework and real-world applications to introduce the key principles and techniques of successful mergers, acquisitions, and leveraged buyouts. It addresses crucial questions including: Why do mergers that looked great on paper fail in reality? How does one value companies acquiring, or being acquired? What is the best negotiation strategy? What does it take to make the "synergy" come to life? How can a merger be funded in such a way as to retain the merged entity's flexibility? Module 3 covers capital budgeting under uncertainty and flexibility. Each student will be able to develop more advanced capital budgeting skills that will enable you to attack real-world corporate investment decisions in a sophisticated manner.
