We start the first day by discussing the goal of the firm and the drivers of value. This will require an understanding of cash flows and required rates of return. We will introduce concepts such as free cash flow and weighted average cost of capital. We finish the first day valuing a high-tech start-up that eventually failed and ask how a company worth several billions in December can declare bankruptcy 8 months later. On the second day, we will discuss how firms should finance themselves, followed by Mergers and Acquisitions. We will finish the day by studying one of the largest acquisitions by a company from a developing market.
