Description

Corporate Finance, Value Creation & Investment: Empirical Studies Across Banking, Media & Sports brings together three independent research studies examining how strategic decisions, financial structures, acquisitions, mergers and business models influence value creation and investment outcomes. The first study evaluates shareholder value creation through the HDFC Ltd–HDFC Bank merger, examining the financial and market implications of one of India's most significant financial-sector transactions. The second study analyses The Walt Disney Company's acquisition of 21st Century Fox, focusing on financial performance, market reaction and strategic synergies following the transaction. The third study examines the financial valuation and revenue models of franchise cricket leagues through a comparative analysis of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and The Hundred, with implications for emerging European sports markets. Bringing together perspectives from banking, media and sports economics, this research collection demonstrates how financial analysis can be applied across diverse industries to evaluate corporate decisions, strategic transactions, business models and value creation. The book is intended for students, researchers, finance professionals and readers interested in corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions, valuation, investment analysis and the economics of modern businesses and sports.
