Context Module Sub HeaderWelcome to the World of Creative Learning on Matrix Modual Content! In Autumn Semester 2026 (114-2), Prof Chiu is going to showcase a professional knowledge package in class. Pioneering in this innovative B-School learning approach, Prof. Chiu will walk you through -- at a high Cost-Performance value -- in several well-structured modules. There are three pillars of my trade-marked "CREATIVE LEARNING" for the next-generation B-School Pedagogical Paradigm: (1) Reinforcement Learning -- One Type of Machine Learning: The ways to apply the domain knowledge to analyze the guiding question(s) of selected cases written by Prof. Chiu from both country-specific and industry-spectif context will significantly enhance your capabilities and experiences as an global talents in the course you take; (2) Transfer Learning -- Built on Deep Learning: After completing your group study of the ONE case chosen from this course's case offerings, Prof. Chiu will guide you to transfer the BEST PRACTICES developed by you and your team members to the term project. My innovative approach and experiential guidance will guarantee a success of this AI-assisted learning procedures; (3) Federated Learning -- Another Type of Machine Learning: Both you learn from (1) & (2), will give yourself a "SMALL-LANGUAGE-MODEL" (SLM) like working protocol in learning. Then, by co-learning with external "LARGE-LANGUAGE-MODEL" (LLM) like databases/cases services, you can smoothly SCALE UP your capabilities and experiences acquired in the course taken with Prof. Chiu to a much broader landscape!Score at least Must score at least to complete this module item Scored at least Module item has been completed by scoring at least View Must view in order to complete this module item Viewed Module item has been viewed and is complete Mark done Must mark this module item done in order to complete Marked done Module item marked as done and is complete Contribute Must contribute to this module item to complete it Contributed Contributed to this module item and is complete Submit Must submit this module item to complete it Submitted Module item submitted and is complete

Context Module Sub HeaderEach study group should choose a firm or an industry to write ONE term project that aims at addressing issues related to global M&A and/or restructuring -- covered and discussed in our class lectures and discussions -- at the firm- or industry-level. Then, each group is expected to make ONE in-class oral presentation. The choice of the focal firm/industry for your term project is at your group members’ collective discretion. The max length of the term project is about 20 pages in Word-format, with 12-font letter size. The structure of the term project should include the following: (1) One-page Executive Summary; (2) Clarify strategic issues on global M&A and/or restructuring for such issues; (3) Describe such M&A and/or restructuring events (max. 2 pages); (4) Apply the analytical tools, frameworks, and concepts that you have learned from this MGAR course to analyze the drivers or factors behind these issues, and propose likely alternatives for M&A and/or restructuring strategies (min. 4 pages); (5) Compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of these alternatives, and prioritize them in terms of feasibility for implementation (min. 2 pages); (6) Recommend the choice of new strategic directions and implementation action programs, in response to the issues specified in (2).Score at least Must score at least to complete this module item Scored at least Module item has been completed by scoring at least View Must view in order to complete this module item Viewed Module item has been viewed and is complete Mark done Must mark this module item done in order to complete Marked done Module item marked as done and is complete Contribute Must contribute to this module item to complete it Contributed Contributed to this module item and is complete Submit Must submit this module item to complete it Submitted Module item submitted and is complete
