 Intense competition, rapid technological change, major corporate accounting scandals, and rising stock market volatility have increased the burden on managers to deliver superior performance and value for their shareholders. In the modern "winner takes all" economy, companies that fail to meet this challenge will face the certain loss of their independence, if not extinction. Corporate restructuring has enabled thousands of organizations around the world to respond more quickly and effectively to new opportunities and unexpected pressures, thereby reestablishing their competitive advantage. It has had an equally profound impact on the many more thousands of suppliers, customers, and competitors that do business with restructured firms.
Corporate Restructuring, Mergers, and Acquisitions: Creating Value in Turbulent Times arms participants with financial strategies to reposition and revitalize their firms amidst unprecedented turmoil in the global financial and product markets.
Program Objectives
Corporate Restructuring, Mergers, and Acquisitions is designed to help corporate managers not only learn to identify and respond to potential restructuring opportunities, but also to gain insight into which approaches are the most successful. They return to their organizations with a sound understanding of "best practices" for creating value through restructuring.
In the context of their own organizations, participants learn how to:
- Identify the best option for restructuring a company faced with a particular problem, challenge, or opportunity;
- Use financial valuation and credit analysis to measure the potential value gains available through restructuring;
- Manage the complicated accounting, tax, legal, and regulatory challenges that stand in the way of a restructuring;
- Design an optimal negotiation strategy for dealing with the firm's stakeholders to ensure the ultimate success of a restructuring; and
- Execute decisively a restructuring plan.
Curriculum
This intensive module focuses on the design, analysis, and implementation of financial strategies aimed at repositioning and revitalizing companies faced with major competitive or environmental challenges, problems, and opportunities. The curriculum covers a broad range of restructuring situations and techniques in numerous industries. In-depth case analyses of some of the most innovative and controversial restructurings of the past decade expose participants to the most—and least—successful approaches to corporate restructuring. Other discussions examine the issues relating to corporate bankruptcy reorganization and debt restructuring, leveraged buyouts and recapitalizations, cost-cutting and corporate downsizing programs, mergers and acquisitions, as well as corporate spin-offs, divestitures, and tracking stock.
Interactive sessions give participants hands-on experience in:
- Designing a financial restructuring program that best addresses the problem, challenge, or opportunity confronting the company;
- Creating financial analysis and valuation tools needed to estimate the potential value gains from restructuring;
- Utilizing analytical tools for early identification of valuable restructuring opportunities; and
- Developing effective negotiation strategies for dealing with creditors, employees, suppliers, shareholders, and other corporate stakeholders.
