This volume offers an in-depth guide to one technique--
divestiture--which is increasingly a component of financial
restructuring plans. Written for the financial and corporate
planning executives who must recommend or direct divestiture
operations, the book offers comprehensive information about
divestiture strategies, the rationale for divestiture, the effects
on employees and other corporate stakeholders, and the internal
management problems that can accompany divestiture proposal and
implementation. In addition, the author offers full coverage of the
various divestiture techniques including direct sale, spin-offs,
Employee Stock Option Plans (ESOPs) and Leveraged Buy-Outs (LBOs).
Schmidt demonstrates that divestiture is often the best solution
for a corporation faced with the need to raise cash, dispose of
properties that do not fit with the firM's overall strategic plan
or show unsatisfactory returns, or remain competitive in today's
global markets. His book will be an important resource for anyone
involved in the divestiture decisionmaking process.
Schmidt begins by tracing the major acquisition and divestiture
activity of the past 30 years. He identifies the business
environmental changes and regulatory actions that have fueled the
current high level of divestiture activity, examines the political
environment of divestiture, and explores the relationship between
international expansion and divestiture. Turning to a discussion of
the divestiture decision itself, Schmidt addresses such issues as
divestiture segment valuation, the effects of divestiture on
resources, the managerial implications and the psychological
effects of divestiture. Subsequent chapters analyze the
considerations that must be taken into account in any divestiture
decision and present specific divestiture techniques. In his
concluding chapter, Schmidt looks at future trends in corporate
divestiture.
