Mergers, Acquisitions and Disinvestment

Chapter 15 in Membership of the Board of Directors, 1988, pp 307-325 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In the search for product diversification, many industrial concerns have chosen mergers as a logical method. Fundamentally, product diversification can be seen as a means of providing a degree of corporate security or, as is usually the case, of continuing company growth. But often mergers and acquisitions bring under the Corporate fold unrelated product lines or exotic services that management finds difficult to control.
