課程概述

Mergers and acquisitions are among the most dynamic, and difficult, strategic activities firms can undertake. Mergers and acquisitions have been a major part of global business for a long time, and can be viewed from many different perspectives. In this course, the perspective taken is a strategic/finance one, with a focus on how mergers and acquisitions can be best used as a strategic tool by managers. Recent corporate history has seen an unprecedented period of M&A activity. In the last six years, 2013-2019, worldwide M&A activities have exceeded $3 trillion and reached $3.7 trillion in 2019. General managers seek to redefine the scope of their firms through M&A. How general managers go about this challenge of defining the nature of the corporate entity, and the special role of mergers and acquisitions in this process, is of central importance to understanding what corporate strategy is all about, and is the core issue we will address in this course.

This course will be of special interest to students planning careers in consulting and strategic planning. However, because most managers will be involved in acquisition activity at some point in their careers (either as an acquiring company or a target), students expecting to hold jobs in general management and finance will find this course helpful as well. 

課程目標
One of the most striking paradoxes of modern business is that huge numbers of acquisitions continue to be made year after year, even though the majority of these deals end up as failures for the acquiring firm. Importantly, this is not a secret; there are many articles in both the business press and academic journals that chronicle this poor record. What is more puzzling is how general managers continue to make acquisitions of marginal value. There is clearly a need for better understanding of how mergers and acquisitions work. As a result, the central goals of this course are for participants to (1) understand why so many mergers and acquisitions fail, (2) develop a working framework that places mergers and acquisitions squarely in a firm's overall corporate strategy, and (3) use this framework to make effective decisions on the entire merger and acquisition process. As strategic alliance is also an important form of quasi-M&A, we will also address this important topic.

Class Preparation
Although a variety of pedagogical methods will be used, such as lectures, case discussion, in-class exercises, and guest speakers, classroom time will predominately revolve around the cases and associated readings. Thus, one of the important requirements for this course is a thorough preparation and analysis of the assigned case and reading material, and active participation in the classroom.
