Abstract

Zusammenfassung Obwohl Entscheidungen über den Verkauf von Unternehmensteilen sehr häufig auf der strategischen Ebene begründet werden, finden sich Untersuchungen zu den Kapitalmarkteffekten strategischer Desinvestitionen nur in Ansätzen. Im vorliegenden Beitrag werden die Aktienkurseffekte strategischer Desinvestitionen im Zuge einer Ereignisstudie über 140 Desinvestitionen deutscher Unternehmen im Zeitraum von 1997 bis 2003 untersucht. Es zeigt sich, dass der Kapitalmarkt strategische Desinvestitionen erkennt und positiv bewertet.
