Abstract

Companies are increasingly turning to divestitures to shed noncore assets, generate cash, and satisfy investor demand to be nimble and focused. In a recent Deloitte survey, over 70% of executives said they expected to sell units or assets in 2017. The trend toward divestitures has been increasing, and research indicates they are likely to continue to be important to a company’s overall business and M&A strategy. Many companies have faced pressure to grow aggressively, which has made their operations more complex and may have stunted their ability to respond to dynamic market needs. As a result, executives are choosing to divest one or more business units, leading to an increase in parallel or serial divestiture deals over the past few years. Additionally, to succeed in a competitive marketplace, some companies are using divestitures as transformational catalysts to shed inefficient operations and optimize remaining business functions during deal execution.
