Aswath Damodaran: The Corporate Lifecycle

For the last decade, NYU professor Aswath Damodaran has been incorporating the idea that companies age, just like human beings do. Over the years, it has become his unifying construct that he uses to explain or at least talk about almost every phenomenon in business. In this video, Aswath shares his thoughts on the lifecycle that every company eventually goes through.

The video is based on his new book, which starts with a description of the life cycle, and the determinants of its length and shape, and then has four separate sections on implications for corporate finance, valuation, investing and management.
