[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 8431, member: 1"] I remember being asked this question at Shearman & Sterling. I'm assuming when you say "key components" you mean "what questions could I be asked about the deal?", in which case it really depends on what deal you're choosing. For example, if it's M&A, you might want to think about the purchase price (how much the buyer paid), how it was paid (e.g. cash and shares), your opinion on the deal (good value? A premium?), how the buyer financed the deal (e.g. did it sell bonds in the market first? Did the same firm help with that?), the significance of the deal (why did you choose this deal over other deals? Are there trends going on in that sector?) etc. The questions you will be asked are likely to be based on what you say at interview, especially if you've chosen a more obscure deal. That will help you to focus your preparation. It also helps you if you're not too sure about something (e.g. don't bring up the fact that the company raised finance by issuing bonds if you don't know what bonds are). [/QUOTE]

Our company is called, "The Corporate ___ Academy". What is the missing word here?
