Learning objectives
The course starts from the assumption that the theme of business valuations summarizes the skills already acquired by students in their course of study, regarding operating conditions, growth and development of companies and groups. Indeed, business valuation is a process which requires skills pertaining to strategic management, organizational theories, the ability to read and analyze financial statements, as well as the capability in collecting and analyzing national and international, real and financial market data. Given that, the course aims at describing the scope of business valuation, value drivers, and a number of valuation methods and techniques. With reference to the latter, the course intends to provide students with the necessary competency to identify proper methodologies to be used in different circumstances and be able to know how to properly apply them. Therefore, at the end of the course, the student must demonstrate how to identify the appropriate methods for determining economic value and be able to apply them by selecting and quantifying the necessary inputs for the valuation formulas.

The student needs a solid knowledge in the fields of business administration, accounting and reporting.

Didactic methods
In order to stimulate the critical ability and student learning, the various topics are developed not only through academic lessons (face to face), but also through real-world practitioners as well as business applications and case building on the basis of real situations.
Learning assessment procedures

The written exam is structured in four questions each of them referring to a part of the program: i) three questions (multiple choice) have theoretical and descriptive nature; they intend to verify the knowledge of the subject matter of the course and are also formulated in order to ascertain the critical ability and judgment of the student, ii) one question consists of an exercise aimed at verifying the methodological application of the acquired knowledge, in order to ascertain the specific skills acquired by the student on the various practical-operational aspects related to company valuations.
Evaluation criteria
