Advanced Valuation and Strategy – M&A, Private Equity and Venture Capital

Introduction

Would you like to learn about the latest valuation methods that may help you to make better business decisions? Then 'Advanced Valuation and Strategy – M&A, Private Equity, and Venture Capital' is the right course for you! This course is helpful for executives that need to value strategic assets and for all students interested in corporate finance and strategy. We present the latest tools and show you how to apply them.

We will revolutionize your way of decision making by extending static techniques from corporate finance with dynamic methods to quantify strategic thinking. Traditionally, we assess the attractiveness of an investment as a mature business, where future cash flows mainly result from past decisions. But, in an ever-changing world, strategic decisions determine the firm’s long-term success and market value. Yet managers often have to consider these long-term implications using intuition and experience alone, with little guidance from structured, quantitative analysis.

Objective

We are going to take you on a fascinating journey that may change the way you make strategic investment decisions. This executive level course consists of a series of accessible worked examples. Step by step we develop the conceptual frameworks and new valuation principles for strategic investments that are difficult to value with traditional tools. These new valuation methods can be particularly interesting for venture capitalists, private equity investors, investment bankers, CEOs, and CFOs. This executive level course may also be useful to those who want to be updated on the latest insights in corporate strategy and valuation techniques.
