Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are among the most dynamic, but also most difficult and error-prone strategic activities a company can undertake. Every business manager will most likely be involved or at least affected by a merger or takeover at some point in their career. Over the length of the course, students will build a solid basis through a combination of theory and practice. The course will involve case studies, valuation exercises, group work and real-life negotiation simulations.
