Mergers and Acquisitions
About This Course
To help organisations understand and structure winning deals, the Mergers and Acquisitions Programme at Nanyang Business School aims to provide executives with a practical, end-to-end understanding of the whole merger and acquisition (M&A) value chain. Both the acquisition and divestment processes will be covered.
Delivered by a strong line-up of NTU faculty and industry practitioners through a combination of presentations and case studies, this comprehensive course will examine the motivations, strategic considerations and issues involved in planning and implementing M&A as well as elements for success and pitfalls to avoid for both the bid and sale processes.
