 Program Overview

No major strategic endeavor is as fraught with peril or leads to more value destruction than a poorly designed or executed acquisition. Learn how you can avoid these pitfalls and gain the conceptual framework and practical tools needed to make value-creating mergers or acquisitions. Use case discussions and actual transactions to demonstrate how synergy can be created, valued, and shared, and how deals can be negotiated and structured to properly allocate risks and rewards. Also, look at the ways in which conglomerates can continually reshape their business to deliver value for shareholders.
