BUS 475Mergers, Acquisitions and Integration

The primary mission of this course is to survey the process of mergers and acquisitions ("M&A"), develop skills in the design and evaluation of these transactions, and expose students to the key tactical issues typically confronted in M&A transactions. A significant emphasis in this course will be developing an approach in which the high failure rate that M&A’s typically experience can be understood and, hopefully, mitigated.
