ACCT 332: Mergers and Acquisitions

This course provides a comprehensive overview of strategic, economic and financial issues related to mergers and acquisitions. Specifically, we review the market for corporate control, discuss strategic issues related to firms' decision to acquire or be acquired, and examine the M&A regulatory environment. We analyze various valuation and deal structure considerations, identify strategies that underlay a successful negotiation, and review the financial reporting and income tax implications of M&A transactions.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 many large and small M&A deals. In discussing these cases, we will examine the situation faced by the company, the issues surrounding the transaction, including the financial implications, and focus on the managerial incentives and the judgment applied. 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.

BIOE 396: BioEntrepreneurship Bootcamp

Launching a company and navigating the complexities of the startup ecosystem can be challenging. This is particularly true in life sciences (e.g., biotech, diagnostics, tools, medtech, synthetic biology, agriculture), where technical risks are compounded with market, regulatory, and financing risks. In this seminar series, we explore the foundational principles behind starting, financing, and building successful startups, with an emphasis on academic spinouts leveraging bioengineering technologies. Guest speakers include experienced entrepreneurs, venture capital investors, senior executives from industry, as well as legal counsel and IP licensing professionals. The series will provide students with the fundamentals required to start conceptualizing their startup idea, ample networking opportunities, and will culminate in a fireside chat with recent PhD/MS graduates who have launched biotech startups. This course is open to MS/PhD/MD/JD/MBA students only. This class has a capacity limit and students must apply to be admitted. The application can be accessed via: https://forms.gle/fu62vHYkVaCNP1hK7

CEE 366A: Addressing deep uncertainty in systems models for sustainability

Policymakers rely on quantitative systems models to inform decision-making about environmental policy design, infrastructure development, and resource allocation. However, many rapid, transformational changes in the climate and socioeconomic systems are difficult to predict and quantify in models. Therefore, reliance on traditional model-based decision analysis can leave policymakers vulnerable to unforeseen risks. In this class, students will learn quantitative methods for addressing deep uncertainties using systems modeling, enabling them to identify potential vulnerabilities and design decision policies that are robust and resilient to a wide range of uncertain futures. Drawing on tools in simulation, optimization, and machine learning, specific methods include: exploratory modeling, scenario discovery, robust decision making, and adaptation pathways. We will demonstrate these approaches in a range of sustainability domains such as water resources, agriculture, and energy systems. Students will complete Python-based modeling assignments, read contemporary journal articles, and develop a research proposal. Prerequisites: Prior coursework in applied optimization (e.g. CEE 266G or MS&E 211); and prior coursework in decision or policy analysis (e.g. CEE 275D or MS&E 250A or MS&E 252); and proficiency in Python programming at the level of CME 193

CHEM 124: Organic Chemistry Laboratory

This is a laboratory course that serves as a stepping stone toward independent research in organic chemistry. Through several 1-2 step syntheses, this course trains students on basic organic laboratory techniques on purification of products, including extraction, distillation, recrystallization, thin layer chromatography, and column chromatography, as well as characterization of product structures using IR, GC-MS, and NMR spectroscopy. This course reviews MS, IR, and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy knowledge from Chem 33 and 121 with an emphasis on the practical interpretation of spectra, so that students can become independent in using these techniques to identify the purity and structures of organic compounds.nPrerequisite: Chem 121. Corequisite: Chem 123.
