To help organisations structure winning deals, our interactive  Mergers and Acquisitions Programme at Nanyang Business School aims to provide participants with a practical, end-to-end understanding of the whole M&A value chain.

Our M&A course provides a series of local and international case studies and small group discussions, you will explore the reasons and motivations for M&A, and examine the various strategic considerations including business plan, valuation, deal structuring, financing, negotiation and implementation issues. Post-merger integration and cross border acquisitions will also be discussed.
