Youth About Business teaches business to high school students through hosting a series of team-based Mergers and Acquisitions simulations. Over the course of a week, students will work in teams of 4-5 and assume the roles of the Executive Management of a public company to perform a M&A transaction.The camp is an intense competition. Many students have very limited exposure to the business world, so students appreciate the team advisors for helping them understand these very complex cases. Each team advisor will cover a specific part of the transaction process to help demystify business and prepare students for their transactions.
The camp is both an educational opportunity and a competition for the students. Advisors act as both “paid” consultant and teachers during their experience. You should approach your role as advisor as if you are advising a client on the pros and cons of a deal.
The analyst session volunteers will help a team of 4-5 high school students understand how to conduct research on a public company. In addition to helping students with their research, volunteers will walk students through a SWOT analysis and other tools to frame their company exploration. (Session prep materials provided)
Examples of research topics to explore:
• What is the primary business? In what industry would you classify the business?
• What is the size of the company? (by sales, by employees, by market cap)
• Who are the largest competitors?
• How to create a SWOT Analysis and other frameworks
At the end of the session, students should be able to speak to the basics of their company. They will also have a focused list of items to research on their own.
