Overview

Key facts

Through Stanford University's interdisciplinary Mergers and Acquisitions mix of lectures, case studies, engaging discussions, hands-on learning, and guest speakers, this virtual program provides critical insights and powerful tools for the successful formulation and execution of an M&A strategy — one that creates true value for your organization. Throughout the program you’ll put learning into action, applying key concepts to a simulated merger deal.

By combining the expertise of Stanford’s strategy, finance, accounting, and organizational behavior faculty, Mergers and Acquisitions offers an interdisciplinary overview of the major elements of M&A transactions.

You will examine all of the key aspects of a merger: target selection, alternative valuation and pricing models, deal design, negotiation strategies, accounting and tax planning, and post-merger integration planning and execution. And you will cover these essential concepts in a sequential order that simulates the M&A process.
