There are group papers and presentations that you will assist in grading. Desired: Finance background, knowledge of M&A, previous TF work. Course Description: There will be 60 students in the course. They are executives who are roughly ages 30-50 and all work full-time in addition to getting their MBA. This course is designed specifically to take an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the problems of formulating and implementing successful acquisition strategies. Our major objectives are 1) to enable you to act a senior advisor to your CEO regarding strategic M&A and PMI issues your division or company might confront and 2) to assist you in becoming an informed consumer of just about anything written on M&A success (including pitches by professional services providers). We will introduce a framework for thinking about acquisitions as a strategic investment where the bottom line is superior shareholder performance. During the past decade, over $15 trillion of corporate resource allocation decisions involved merger and acquisition strategies that have yielded a wide range of performance outcomes. While much has been written and debated about specific aspects of acquisitions in recent years, these discussions have been discipline based (e.g., financial vs. behavioral) and have offered executives little guidance on managing the value of the company. In this course, we will approach acquisitions as a multi-step strategic and organizational process drawing from the fields of strategy content and process, negotiations, finance and organizational behavior. Professor Bio: Mark Sirower is a principal at Deloitte Consulting in New York and U.S. leader of the firm’s M&A Strategy practice. Previously, he co-founded and built the Transaction Services Strategy Group at PricewaterhouseCoopers. For five years prior, Mark was global leader of the M&A practice at The Boston Consulting Group in New York where he developed the BCG corporate development framework and innovative approaches to crafting and executing corporate, business, and M&A strategy. Prior to joining BCG, he taught Mergers and Acquisitions at the Wharton School and consulted extensively on strategy and valuation issues in M&A transactions.
