Advanced Valuation and Strategy - M&A, Private Equity, and Venture Capital

Colleagues, the Advanced Valuation and Strategy - M&A, Private Equity, and Venture Capital  program will revolutionize your way of decision making, by extending static techniques from corporate finance with dynamic methods to quantify strategic thinking. Traditionally, we assess the attractiveness of an investment as a mature business, where future cash flows mainly result from past decisions. But, in an ever-changing world, strategic decisions determine the firm’s long-term success and market value.. The  treatment goes far beyond the use of standard valuation analysis. We introduce the expanded NPV, which brings together DCF, real options, and game theory. Thinking in terms of options, games, and adaptive strategies may help managers address strategic questions such as: How do you value a leveraged buyout? How can you value a high-tech venture with negative cash flows? When should you invest in new ventures in stages? How can you incorporate rival bidders in the analysis? This course is particularly interesting for venture capitalists, private equity investors, investment bankers, CEOs and CFOs, Skill-based training modules include: 1) Discounted Cash Flow Analysis - apply DCF approaches and provide case applications illustrating the powerful potential of this valuation methodology., 2) Corporate Strategy - close the gap between traditional corporate finance and strategic planning by linking corporate strategy to the market value. We can assess the value of a company through the expanded NPV criterion, which is able to capture the value of the firm's growth options, 3) Corporate Real Options - the basic concepts and valuation principles of real options. Real options theory quantifies decision making under uncertainty and stresses the importance of wait-and-see flexibility, suggesting that managers should wait until major uncertainties are resolved and the project is more clearly beneficial. Since it recognizes that investments tend to be sequentially related over time, real options analysis is particularly suitable for valuing strategies in addition to isolated projects, and 4) Option Games - principles of game theory, which are essential for our understanding of strategic decisions.. After this module you will be able to quantify the strategic component in the strategic growth option value. This is important for understanding strategic decisions of companies with high growth option value.
