The final project for this course is the creation of a merger proposal for two companies. This is an individual project. You will choose two companies and will have to analyze and then propose a merger. The purpose of this project is to simulate the aspects of a real world merger. This project is divided into three milestones, submitted in Module Three, Module Seven, and Module Ten.

To successfully complete this project, you will be expected to apply what you have learned in this course and should include several of the following course outcomes and learning objectives:

• Analyze the role of corporate restructurings in the corporate world by assessing the value added and synergy from mergers and acquisitions
• Compare and contrast mergers and acquisitions by examining each and evaluating the effect on corporations
• Analyze the financial and economic impact of mergers and acquisitions by applying the principles of capital structure, firm valuation, cost of capital, capital budgeting, and quantitative risk assessment
• Analyze the potential success and/or failure of a merger deal by reviewing the post-merger performance and valuation of the company
• Apply managerial decision-making strategies with mergers and acquisitions to companies, based on comprehensive research and analysis of recent, similar deals
• Present scholarly papers through research, preparation, and analysis of contemporary merger and acquisition issues

Main Elements
Part I: Introduction ( 3 to 4 Pages )
• Choose two companies in the United States.
• Describe the companies and their products and respective industries.
• Provide a brief analysis of their annual financial reports (last three years).
• Provide a trend analysis of financial ratios over the three years. In your trend analysis, analyze the company in terms of liquidity, profitability, market value, and capital structure.

Part II: Analysis ( 3 to 4 Pages )
• Describe why you see synergistic effects between the two companies.
• Describe the potential growth after a merger.
• Support your arguments based on financial information of Milestone One.
• Do you anticipate any anti-takeover measure from the target company? If yes, what would you advise the bidder?
• Are there any anti-takeover measures that apply to these companies? If yes, include them here.
• Could there be agency problems in a potential deal? From the bidder’s standpoint? From the target’s standpoint?

Part III: Proposal ( 3 to 4 Pages)
• Examine and describe the post-merger company (valuation, competitive advantage).
• Conclude by presenting a strong case to the executive management teams. Your goal is to sell the project as a successful merger for both bidder and target companies.
• You must have evidence based on research and using industry analysis and company valuation strategies. Be sure to include counterarguments as needed.
• Do you anticipate any issue on the post-merger company (corporate culture, management structures, etc.)?

Discussion Section:
• Your SMART career goals
• The connection between your current major and your SMART career goals
• What resources are available at to help you connect with skills or knowledge you need to meet your SMART career goals

Conclusion: So what? What’s next? How did completing this project assist you in developing “checkpoints” or better understanding of what actions you need to take to align your career goals with your academic goals? Briefly address how you plan to put what you have learned from this project to use in your upcoming semesters .

# just for you know my major is business

I would prefer that my research area in the Ethics basis more specifically in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

1. students will have conducted a research project and written up the results;
2. will know how to design and conduct research projects in the field of management;
3. will be able to ground theoretical elements of management in particular case study organisations;
4. will know how to interpret and present the results of research in management, including recommendations for future organisational action.
Related graduate attribute(s):
1. graduates are professional – communicate effectively
1. graduates are professional – employ up-to-date and relevant knowledge and skills
1. graduates are professional – use creativity, critical thinking, analysis and research skills to solve theoretical and real-world problems
2. graduates are global citizens – adopt an informed and balanced approach across professional and international boundaries
2. graduates are global citizens – communicate effectively in diverse cultural and social settings
2. graduates are global citizens – think globally about issues in their profession
You should consider a project that meets your career interests. In the past, some students have worked on:

* collection of data (eg. surveys/ focus groups) to solve a research problem
* analysis of literature to solve a research problem (eg a thorough literature review of the direction of social media research or management theories etc)
* creation of a web page and report regarding the process and the future of the site
* a business plan for the establishment of a new organization
* a social media plan, implemented for an organization or cause (LinkedIn, Twitter, Blog, Facebook)
* a not-for-profit organization plan
* international analysis of documents
* policy report development for your industry
* and many others – think creatively
You should think creatively, and also consider your career interests. For example, a student keen to go on for further academic study may develop a very different project compared with a student who wishes to set up a business tomorrow!
NOTE: There are no classes for this subject. You can meet with Raechel Johns, the unit convenor, to discuss, or discuss over email. I look forward to meeting you face to face or virtually during this course

Develop a proposal outlining:

· introduction
· the problem / issue you wish to solve
· your motivation for doing this (eg. career/ personal interests)
· how you will tackle it – eg. write a report, collect data (where from?), develop something (eg. a web page – how?)
· the future beyond the project – do you envisage using the material for your work? For interest? Going further? (it’s okay if not)
· Timeline for the project·
Most students can do the above in about 5 pages. References are not required for the proposal, but are required for any direct quotes, taking of diagrams etc
