This course will examine strategic and practical issues associated with restructurings, including those related to mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, activist investors, governance challenges, financial distress, and leveraged buyouts. We will investigate these issues in the context of a firm's overall strategic goals and discuss how restructuring strategies must be formulated to be consistent with a firm's business strategy and corporate culture. We will focus on the tools for measuring value and value creation/destruction and the economics underlying the value creation process. The goal of this course is to provide a practical overview of the market for corporate assets viewed from the perspective of firms, employees, bankers, consultants, and investors.
