We teach both the basics of M&A (including the deal process) and Accretion/Dilution analysis. The big difference is in how we teach Accretion/Dilution.The legacy training firms teach an approach that only works in corner cases. We teach a much more dynamic approach that allows to analyze Accretion/Dilution for deals that include Debt, Cash and Equity consideration...and it's MUCH easier than the traditional approach! :)
