Mergers & Acquisitions and Corporate Restructuring

• Learn how to identify the best option for restructuring a company faced with a particular problem, challenge, or opportunity.
• Gain practice using financial valuation tools to measure the potential value to be gained through restructuring.
• Experience the opportunities and size up the non-market risks of outsourcing, offshoring, and other forms of corporate divestitures.
• Practice designing a negotiation strategy for dealing with the firm's stakeholders to enhance the odds of a successful restructuring and transformation effort.
• Gain a broader view of post-merger integration "best practice."

A typical profile of participants would include (but not be limited to):

• Principals, founders of their own firms or family business
• Chief Executive Officers or Managing Directors or General Managers
• Chief Financial Officers (CFOs)
• Business Development Managers
• Senior level staff personnel involved with Strategy Development
• Chief Marketing or Operations Managers
• Supply Chain Managers involved in outsourcing/ offshoring decisions
• Financial and/or Strategy Consultants
• Investment bankers, credit officers, or commercial bank loan officers
• Attorneys, accountants, "gestors" or others providing advisory services to companies in need of restructuring
• Hedge fund managers, venture capitalists, or private equity fund managers seeking global opportunities in restructuring situations.

We are offering participants a practical, experienced-based view of cor­porate restructuring, with real cases featuring primarily European family businesses, undergoing corporate restructurings and transformations in the global economy.

The course will be interactive and will focus on participant’s learning needs. Role-plays, case discussions in small groups, and plenary debates will be used along with other interactive media, videos, and computer spread­sheet modeling.

The faculty team who will be leading the seminar are known for their ability to engage executives and to bring the participants’ own experiences into the classroom. Students will be asked to apply new conceptual frame­works and ideas to challenging real-world problems. Time will be allowed for personal reflection to let the lessons “sink-in” and to make connec­tions with what is going on in the executives own company and sector. There will be time for off-site discussions peer-to-peer and also with the faculty team over breaks, lunches, and dinners.
