Sage Business Cases: Valuation Series
Sage Publishing continues to grow its teaching case
collection, Sage Business Cases, across the business spectrum while
incorporating thought from a variety of disciplines.
The Valuation case series within Sage Business Cases will
explore the skills involved in valuation from the quantitative skills of
obtaining the appropriate data, inputting data into a model, and obtaining the
valuation from the model to the soft skills required to communicate
recommendations and decisions. All cases in this series will feature static and
live embeds from
Data Planet to
better allow students to practice these quantitative skills. We welcome cases
that focus on valuing projects and purchasing assets, financial management
decisions such as dividend and capital structure decisions, investing in fixed
income and equity securities, and valuing enterprises for mergers or valuing
private firms for an estate.
Questions about
valuation and finance that may be treated include:
1. How does value change based on the purpose of the
valuation?
2. What are the key assumptions that drive a valuation
estimate?
3. How does the stage of the company’s lifecycle affect
its valuation?
4. What methods can be used to estimate uncertainties
regarding the valuation conclusions?
5. What are most appropriate methodologies for completing
the valuation?
6. What sources of information are available for
preparing a valuation?
7. What are the differences between valuing a private
versus a public company?
8. How does the valuation of a project differ from the
valuation of the firm?
9. How do corporate financial strategies such as dividend
payment and share issuance/repurchase affect the valuation of the firm?
10. What are the differences between valuation of debt
versus equity securities?
