In this respect, particular emphasis will be given to the venture capital dynamics and the financing of innovation. Investments aimed at increasing the firm value (e.g. M&A or IPOs) will also be discussed thoroughly.

Evaluatiemethode

A written exam will be organised in June and in August. A case report, for the part devoted to the venture capital analysis, is due that represents 20% of the final grade (see Webcampus for details).
