We study state-of-the-art knowledge on alliances and M&As in terms of both academic contributions and more practitioner's oriented knowledge. M&As and alliances are discussed from various theoretical perspectives. Students learn to combine these concepts and confront them with empirical findings.

This course aims to give students a better understanding of the purpose of alliances and M&As and the process of setting up these specific forms of organisation. Several aspects of alliances and M&As will be taught such as their strategic management and network formation.
