Hello and welcome to this course! Would you like to learn about the latest valuation methods that can help you make better business decisions? Then Erasmus University Rotterdam's 'Advanced Valuation and Strategy: Mergers & Acquisitions, Private Equity and Venture Capital' is the right course for you! This course is useful for executives who need to assess complete strategies and for all students interested in finance and corporate strategy.
We introduce the latest tools and show you how to apply them! We will revolutionize the way you make decisions by extending static corporate finance techniques with dynamic methods to quantify strategic thinking.
Traditionally, we assess the attractiveness of an investment as a mature business, where future cash flows result primarily from past decisions.
But, in an ever-changing world, strategic decisions determine the long-term success and market value of the company.
However, managers often have to consider these long-term implications using only intuition and experience, with little guidance from structured quantitative analysis.
Our treatment goes far beyond the use of standard valuation analysis.
Introducing the Expanded NPV, bringing together DCF, Real Options, and Game Theory.
Thinking in terms of options, games, and adaptive strategies can help managers address strategic questions such as: How do you value a leveraged buyout? How can you value a high-tech company with negative cash flows? When should you invest in new ventures in stages? How can you incorporate rival bidders into the analysis? The tools we provide can improve your decisions in business and in everyday life.
* Who is this class for? We hope that our course will attract students (graduates) in finance, economics and business, as well as senior professionals and the general public.
This course is particularly interesting for venture capitalists, private equity investors, investment bankers, CEOs, CFOs, and those aspiring to these affiliations.
