Chapter Chapter 3 in Laws and Regulations in Global Financial Markets, 2013, pp 73-116 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract There is a variety of strategies for a company wishing to expand its product lines or geographically, or rid itself of the underperforming aspects of its business that may be utilized in a more productive enterprise. One strategy is that of mergers and acquisitions. A second strategy is divestiture and asset sales, which may be necessitated by the need for additional capital and/or to focus on more productive parts of the business. A third strategy may involve entry into a joint venture or other related connections with another company to perform a particular project. A fourth strategy is to go either public or private, e.g., by means of a leveraged buyout.1 We will discuss some of the major strategies in this chapter.2
