A successful M&A outcome cannot be achieved without accurate valuation of one’s own firm, the target firm, and the valuation of synergies. In addition, it is the key to assessing opportunities and creating a short list of feasible targets. It is also critical for a target firm to understand how to achieve a more desirable price during a takeover or divestiture.

This 2+1 day Masterclass covers all the four key components of effective and comprehensive business valuation: strategy, accounting, financial and prospective analysis. The valuation techniques that will be examined and applied include traditional discounted cash flow and multiples analysis as well as newly developed techniques that outperform traditional valuation techniques.

Masterclass participants who attend the third day of the program will learn to use and take home cutting edge valuation software prepared by Harvard Business School faculty.
