FIN 5405 - Mergers and Acquisitions


Mergers & Acquisitions is a case-based examination of the factors that contribute to a successful transaction. After establishing why a corporation would entertain a merger or acquisition in the first place, emphasis will be given to candidate selection, valuation, negotiation, post-transaction integration, and satisfying the needs of the many stakeholders involved in a deal. Every class meeting will feature discussion of an assigned case, and students will also engage in team projects in which they research a recent transaction and will participate in mock negotiations. Students will have met the prerequisites prior to enrolling in the course to ensure that they are comfortable with the common tools of finance, especially discounted cash flow analysis.

Prerequisites: ACCT 4100  OR ACCT 4101  and FIN 4200 , OR  .

Anticipated Terms Offered: Varies
