Managing Divestitures Through Time—Expanding Current Knowledge
研究了公司如何设计和实施资产剥离，特别是当母公司与被剥离单位保持关系时，通过定量分析和实地研究揭示其演变过程，为战略学者提供新见解。
Executive Overview Although most existing literature has focused on the motives and consequences of divestitures, we have little more than anecdotal evidence illustrating their design and implementation. Even less is known about the evolution of divestitures, especially when parent companies retain a relationship with the divested unit. Using a multi-method approach that blends quantitative analysis with insights from field research, this study analyzes how and why companies structure and implement divestitures. The resulting framework provides new insights for strategy scholars on how divestitures can be used to shape corporate strategies and our understanding of multi-business companies.
