Orchestrating Winning Performance

Mergers and acquisitions: a strategic finance view

Mergers and acquisitions: a strategic finance view

With Professor Nuno Fernandes

In this stream, we will look carefully at the key factors that make an international growth strategy successful. The key focus of the stream will be on the links between finance and strategy, with an emphasis on M&As. We take a strategic finance view: good M&As must create value. Some topics analyzed include: how to grow profitably with M&As; fighting a hostile takeover battle; growth opportunities in emerging markets; financing and valuation in an M&A setting; creating second home markets: many companies need to create international markets, which are many times larger than their own home market.

This is an exciting, yet demanding stream. You are expected to have some familiarity with basic finance concepts and to prepare carefully for the sessions before OWP and also during the week at IMD.
