  • The aim of my diploma thesis is to estimate the value of LinkedIn Corporation as a part of studies at International MBA of National Tsing Hua University. I have used discounted cash flow method (DCF) and relative valuation for the analysis of the company. The work is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical part describes the calculation procedure according to the methods chosen; the practical part applies this approach to business valuation. The practical part is the financial analysis, forecast of growth and valuation based on DCF and multiples.
