Abstract

This is a Spanish version. In response to a perceived undervaluation by the capital markets, Nestle is considering divesting a part of its ophthalmology subsidiary, Alcon, and must decide on a listing location. In the process, students are challenged to wrestle with the valuation of a conglomerate, the trade-offs involved in listing in the United States vs Europe, and the incentive and tax consequences of that listing decision.
