Mergers and Acquisitions
Tackle the entire M&A process through an interdisciplinary curriculum and a hands-on, weeklong team simulation project.
Through a dynamic mix of lectures, case studies, class discussions, hands-on learning, and visits from guest speakers, this 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. At the end of each day, you’ll put classroom 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.
