Learning Objective
This case series can be used at the undergraduate or MBA level to discuss an acquisition opportunity from the point in time of original contact through to the negotiation of the purchase price, including the due diligence process. The case series has been used in an advanced accounting class to illustrate the managerial side of accounting for acquisitions, which is typically the focus of advanced accounting. It provides the students with an opportunity to think beyond the numbers to issues of strategy, human resources, marketing, and financing. The case series would be suitable for a finance class focused on business acquisitions.
