OVERVIEW

Strategic growth is on the minds of executives across the globe, with mergers &
acquisitions (M&A) playing a central role in shaping corporate strategies. The
evolving M&A landscape reflects a deeper recognition of the need for businesses
to adapt in a fast-paced and technologically advanced environment. Companies are
using M&A to adapt to new challenges and opportunities, particularly those
arising from advances in technology, environmental considerations, and changing
market conditions. This shift indicates a broader application of M&A as a
strategic tool for business transformation and securing a competitive edge in
the global market.

With our comprehensive and engaging four-day M&A and Corporate Strategy program,
participants will delve into the intricacies of M&A, gaining essential knowledge
and skills for effective deal-making, including:

 * What are the core principles and stages of Mergers & Acquisitions?
 * How do market dynamics and human factors influence M&A outcomes?
 * What are the proven strategies for successful deal sourcing and closure?
 * How can effective communication impact M&A negotiations and public
   perception?
 * What role does valuation play in the M&A process, and what are the key
   methods?
 * How can companies maximize success and mitigate risks in M&A transactions?
 * What are the common pitfalls in M&A, and how can they be avoided?
 * How does debt influence the structure and success of an M&A deal?

What are the costs of the certificate? 
There’s no set cost associated with the certificate path since you’re able to
customize your learning journey with in-person and online programs (price will
vary depending on the program type and length).

Are there any tuition assistance or scholarships? 
At Columbia Business School Executive Education, we offer non-degree and
non-credit-based professional development programs to the global business
