Abstract
Divestiture is when a company sells, exchanges, or otherwise disposes of a subsidiary, business unit, or other type of asset. Companies may decide to divest in a business or asset for several reasons: (i) an asset or business unit is underperforming, (ii) that an old investment is no longer a core competency in alignment with the company’s strategic vision, (iii) as part of a merger or acquisition, and (iv) to improve a company’s value, and (v) mandated via a court order in the name of market competition.
