ACCT 332: Mergers and Acquisitions

This course provides a comprehensive overview of strategic, economic, accounting and financial issues related to mergers and acquisitions. Specifically, we review the market for corporate control, discuss strategic and governance issues related to firms' decision to acquire or be acquired, and examine the M&A regulatory environment. We analyze various pricing and deal structure considerations, identify strategies that underlay a successful negotiation, and review the financial reporting and income tax implications of M&A deals.In covering these and other related issues, we will discuss both the theory and practice of mergers and acquisitions. To provide some specific context we will analyze several M&A deals (e.g., Google/Motorola, HP/Compaq, UpJohn/Pharmacia, AOL/Time Warner, Oracle/PeopleSoft, and many more). In discussing these cases, we will examine the situation faced by the company, the issues surrounding the transaction, including the financial reporting implications, and focus on the managerial incentives and the judgment applied. We will also review some of the related literature in accounting, economic, and finance, to gain broader perspectives and insights into the financial issues associated with M&A transactions. Class time comprises mini lectures that introduce some of the more technical concepts, case discussions, and guest speakers who will offer additional perspectives on the subject matters.The course is co-taught by Ron Kasznik (GSB) and Safra Catz (Oracle Corporation). Ms. Catz is the CEO of Oracle Corporation and a member of its Board of Directors. She has led Oracle through more than 100 acquisitions in recent years (including PeopleSoft, Siebel, BEA, Sun Microsystems, and many more). Prior to joining Oracle in 1999, Ms. Catz was Managing Director at Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, a global investment bank (now part of CSFB). Ms. Catz also serves on the board of directors for Walt Disney.

CS 349E: Understanding Datacenter Software Dynamics

A one-time graduate course for MS and PhD students (and possibly a few unusually savvy undergraduate Seniors). This is a programming lab course, actively building software tools to observe the detailed behavior of transaction-oriented datacenter-like software. Students will observe and understand sources of user-facing tail latency, including that stemming from resource contention, cross-program interference, bad software locking, and simple design errors. The course is particularly relevant for students who like performance mysteries in complex real-world computing environments such as Google datacenters. Students who successfully complete the course will be able to use and build low-overhead software tools to observe complex database- or datacenter-like transaction software, will be able to make proper performance measurements, will be able to identify the root causes for many long-tail slow transactions, and will be able to articulate what performance issues they find and how to fix them. Prerequisites: Computer architecture, C/C++ programming, some exposure to networking, nsome exposure to Linux or other operating system design, ability to construct and run programs in a Linux/C++/ssh environment.
