Mergers and Acquisitions: A Strategic Valuation Approach

Course Outline

To merge or not to merge

An organization can't make that crucial decision without incisive analysis by financial planners and corporate managers. To determine how a potential merger or acquisition will impact company value, you must examine numerous factors well beyond the usual tax, legal, cash flow, and cash outlay considerations.

In short, you have to think like a strategist. And that's what this outstanding course prepares you to do.

This practical, hands-on course reflects today's business environment, where strategic combinations have replaced the hostile "do-it-our-way" takeovers of the past. It walks you through each step of the modern merger process, from evaluating candidates to handling post-merger integration issues.

Early on, you get financial statements and data for two hypothetical companies, a potential acquirer and a potential target. The course then examines these companies at every stage of a typical consolidation. You also see how new technologies and Internet tools can help you better assess acquisition value for your own deals.

Learn how to:

  • Understand the corporate motives behind mergers
  • Use technology to gather information on potential candidates
  • Screen targets using ratio analysis and strategic analysis
  • Value candidates far more accurately
  • Assess the overall impact of a merger on company performance
  • Forecast expected future cash flows
  • Determine the appropriate discount rate
  • Choose the right mix of securities to transact the deal
  • Follow through during the acquisition
  • Plan for post-merger integration
