22642-01 - Vorlesung: Corporate Restructuring (3 KP)
| Semester | Herbstsemester 2015 |
| Angebotsmuster | unregelmässig |
| Dozierende | David Yermack (david.yermack@unibas.ch, BeurteilerIn) |
| Inhalt | Issues in corporate finance and corporate governance. Topics include choices of organizational form, mergers and acquisitions, spinoffs, capital structure changes, private equity transactions, and takeover defenses. Topic will be analyzed within an agency cost framework, focusing upon conflicts between stockholders, managers, the government, and other constituencies. Many classes will involve case studies of prominent companies, including episodes related to the worldwide financial crisis that began in 2008. |
| Literatur | The most important readings for the course will be a collection of academic articles supplemented by pieces from newspapers, magazines, and other areas of the news media. These will be distributed together in a photocopied reading packet. I believe the readings are most helpful if done in advance of class. The textbooks for the course can be considered optional reading. The Gaughan book is a valuable reference, and Malkiel's book on investing and the stock market is a classic that every business student should read at some point. P. Gaughan, Mergers, Acquisitions and Corporate Restructurings (4th ed., 2007) B. Malkiel, A Random Walk Down Wall Street (8th ed., 2003) (recommended). |
