Overview.The Beginner’s and Intermediate’s (Complete) Guide to M&A is a course in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and the M&A market. We will be covering all of the important aspects of M&A transactions, using real-world business examples and case studies wherever possible to make the connection between learning and application. And we’ll have a lot of fun doing it! I have been fortunate in my career to have worked on many “headline deals” that involved some big personalities (and egos). They make for great case studies to review during class, but make for even better behind-the-scenes stories. In addition, we’ll cover some areas that aren’t addressed in most M&A courses, but that I think you’ll find both fascinating and entertaining. For example, “Hostile Takeovers” and “Poison Pills” have been in the news for much 2022, but what exactly are they? We’ll talk about those, and many other current trends in the M&A market.
Who is this Course For?The Beginner’s and Intermediate’s (Complete) Guide to M&A is intended for beginners and intermediates and provides a basic (but thorough) overview of the entire M&A process. For those with no business background, and anyone who could benefit from a review, I have included a “Crash Course” (see below) that covers many concepts related to M&A.
Crash Course. Mergers & Acquisitions is a subject that brings together multiple disciplines, including accounting, finance, and corporate law. For anyone with no background in these topics or who would benefit from a review, the course includes a comprehensive “Crash Course” that covers concepts that are applicable to this course.
Downloadable Materials. The course includes a significant amount of content that you are free to download and keep, including recorded lectures, a PowerPoint Slide Deck for every lecture, Case Studies, and Study Aids.
