📢 WOW
The students of our MBA Finance | Master in Finance program have completed the first half of their studies 👏 .
After the initial five modules (Quantitative Analysis, Principles of Business Valuation, Financial Accounting, Managerial Accounting, and Corporate Finance), they expanded their knowledge in June 2024 with the "Mergers & Acquisitions" module, led by Prof. Dr. Pascal Böni.
On the first day of the course, they explored success factors for M&A transactions and analyzed the Aruba-Hewlett Packard case. The second day involved practical M&A cases, discussion of a US court ruling, and valuation issues. In role-plays, students took on the roles of involved parties and examined a minority shareholders' lawsuit. Their assignment was to evaluate a Delaware court decision.
A highlight of their learning experience was the visit to the Swiss Post logistics center in Härkingen, where Nicole Burth highlighted the strategic importance of acquisitions in the development of Swiss Post. The visit provided firsthand insights into operational strategies and logistical challenges in a dynamic industry environment. The day concluded with an Apéro and a return to Basel, fostering further discussions and reflections among the students.
The intensive day provided valuable discussions and was followed by individual preparation for the next day's topic, "Event Studies."
