The ESADE Alumni Greater China Chapter, the Shanghai hub to be precise, would like to invite you to their upcoming event, a session with professor Santiago Simon (Lic&MBA 80 / PhD 03), entitled ''Qualitative Study of Private Equity''.
After a brief look at the private equity situation in China, we will analyze PE operations from a qualitative point of view. This means taking a closer look at how different stakeholders see an operation from the inside. The talk is divided into four parts:
1-From the birth of the investment idea to the signing of the contract
2-The duration of the investment
3-The exit from the investment
4-Conclusions
This event will attended by about 45 students from the 2017 MSc Finance program and the program manager, Maja Murko.
Let’s all celebrate the start of the Year of the Rooster together!
