Description
This is an advanced module and designed for students who have studied management topics previously. The content will cover complex topics which are not suited to students with no prior knowledge of subjects related to the field.
'鈥淰aluation鈥濃�� both as that term is applied in determining the defensible worth of companies (鈥榗ompany valuation鈥�) and also in terms of objective determination of merger success- or failure- from the perspective of the acquiring firm at risk are amongst the most important issues in dynamic business & financial management today. This Module鈥檚 COMPANY Valuation parts consider the three leading broad methodologies in use today, with applied consideration of today鈥檚 leading approach, Discounted Cash Flow. MERGER valuation鈥檚 key issue- determining and applying the most defensible objective methods for first judging and then verifying acquirer鈥檚 merger performance, is extremely timely today, given persistent merger/de-merger transaction volume and the provable FACT that ~2/3 of acquisitions disappoint and/or fail. Today鈥檚 leading merger valuation methodology is examined in this Module in component detail, along with some of the leading alternatives. Other topics regularly addressed in this Module include M&A cycles, DE-merger evaluation, and merger defence strategies.
