"Students are required to propose a deal based on a hypothetical or an actual on-going deal in any industry. Any types of deal discussed in this course are acceptable, such as expansion project, M&A, and etc. Choosing a topic/industry related to your own work experience/background/interest will arouse more passion to do the work. Please pretend you are the research group of a company trying to persuade your Board of Directors to agree your proposal by showing qualitative evidence and quantitative analysis that the deal you are proposing is valuable to the company"
