A year after earning first-runner-up honors, a team of Master of Finance students from Tulane University’s A. B. Freeman School of Business won first place at the 2019 Business Valuation Challenge. The competition, an annual presentation of Georgia State University’s J. Mack Robinson School of Business, took place Nov. 23 in Atlanta.
在获得亚军荣誉一年后，土兰大学A.B.弗里曼商学院（A.B.Freeman School of Business）的金融硕士学生团队在2019年商业估值挑战赛（Business Valuation Challenge）中获得第一名。乔治亚州立大学J.Mack-Robinson商学院一年一度的比赛于11月23日在亚特兰大举行。
The competition challenges students to assess the stand-alone value of a real private company. Teams review a case and submit video presentations of their analysis. The top five submissions are then invited to present their presentations before judges in a live final round. In earning this year’s top prize, the Freeman students — Tingting Guo (MFIN ’20), Constanta Lungu (MFIN ’20), Jashn Sardana (MFIN ’20) and Jie Zhou (MFIN ’20) — topped student teams from business schools across the country. The students worked with Assistant Professor of Finance Ryan Peters, who served as faculty adviser, to apply for the challenge and prepare for their final presentation to judges.
这项竞赛要求学生评估一家真正的私人公司的独立价值。团队回顾一个案例并提交他们分析的视频演示。然后，前五名选手将被邀请在现场决赛中向评委展示他们的演讲。在获得今年最高奖的过程中，弗里曼商学院的学生郭婷婷（音译）、康斯坦塔·隆古（音译）、贾森·萨尔达纳（音译）和周杰杰（音译）在全国商学院的学生队伍中名列前茅。学生们与担任教师顾问的金融学助理教授瑞安·彼得斯（Ryan Peters）合作，申请挑战，并准备向评委作最后陈述。
“These cases are about more than simply processing numbers to arrive at a correct valuation,” said Peters. “Judges are looking for an analysis that approaches the case holistically and seriously considers the perspective of hypothetical clients. In this particular case, the shareholders had very disparate goals in the context of multiple strategic opportunities. Jie, Tingting, Jashn and Constanta did a great job focusing on those goals while defending a technically robust analysis.”
彼得斯说：“这些案例不仅仅是简单地处理数字，以得出正确的估值。“法官们正在寻找一种分析方法，以全面和认真地处理案件，并考虑假想客户的观点。在这种特殊情况下，在多重战略机遇的背景下，股东的目标截然不同。洁、婷婷、贾森和康斯坦塔在专注于这些目标的同时，也为技术上的稳健分析辩护
