Week 13 - Valuation
1)
What was the biggest surprise for you in the reading? In other
words, what did you read that stood out the most as different from your
expectations? I knew that analyzing a business is an in depth process,
however, I did not expect the checklist to be so long. After reading, I came to
realization that analyzing and acquiring a business is a very time consuming
process. No wonder these business deals for big corporations take so long.
2)
Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to
you. I understood that basis of formulas when considering a company
– however, the actual implementation and value of these would have been better
understood in more situational explanations. I’m a visual learner on things
like this.
3)
If you were able to ask two questions to the author, what
would you ask? Why? I’d ask the author whether he would personally acquire or start a new
business and which tends to be more profitable in this opinion. Also, I would
ask if he felt these valuations should be done personally or outsourced? Can an
outside company be trusted when valuations are of concern?
4)
Was there anything you think the author was wrong about? Where
do you disagree with what she or he said? How? I don’t disagree on any point of this chapter.
