CE MOIS-CI / October 2020

October 15, 2020

Here is our latest content for the monthly subscription

Almost one year of existence for our E-Cademy! We are expanding our offer and preparing new important elements for the coming months. Can you believe that we have a 3-year development plan in our files!

Professor Jacquet is constantly thinking about new aspects so that E-Cademy really becomes the top training place for financial managers.

At the same time, we are developing training programs for companies that allow us to think about new e-learning vectors.

We are finishing the construction of two complete courses with linked exercises and a lot of video teaching. The first one is entitled “Investment Evaluation and Control” and will be available by the end of the fall. The second, entitled “Financial Performance”, will follow very closely. 3 other courses are in preparation.

For our October vidcast, we discussed the most recent model of financial structure to facilitate IPOs: the SPAC.

For our 8th educational film, in this period of Nobel Prize, Professor Jacquet discusses the immense contribution of two nobelized pioneers of the modern economy, Modigliani and Miller, whose work on the value of debt is very appropriate in the face of actual economic trends.

For our blog, Professor Jacquet has revisited his old friend Masayoshi San of Softbank to reflect on his latest work.

Of course, you can still access all our previous educational films, videos and blog posts.

More good news is coming this fall!

Welcome to your E-Cademy and stay warm.

Le vidcast du mois

October Vidcast 2020 – The year of the SPAC

Concretely, a Spac is a structure listed on the stock exchange with the aim of making an acquisition. At the time of its quotation, it is thus only an empty shell. Contrary to a classic IPO, the funds raised from the public are not allocated to a specific project (financing of equipment, debt repayment...).
