About This Course

Besides Acquisitions and Alliances, Divestment is a key route for Corporate Development. In fact, there are typically more viable Divestment opportunities for adding Shareholder Value than for Acquisitions. Businesses which might once have thrived economically can often begin to plateau. Before competitive decline sets in, it may be opportune for profitable divestment. Equally, not all acquisitions work out well or that sort of business might be so much on acquirers' agendas that a handsome acquisition premium is to be had.

Adding value within a divestment requires skillful navigation through a complex decision-making and implementation process. This entails mastery of financial, strategic, and negotiation techniques that can yield rich dividends.

This intensive seminar has lots of rich slides of tools and tips giving you and your colleagues a real edge in the Divestment process, with rich case study learning examples. It is delivered by Dr. Tony Grundy MA MBA MSc MPhil FCA PhD, a leading international Strategy Consultant, top Business School Professor, and author of 21 books including: "Mergers and Acquisitions," "Shareholder Value," "Exploring Strategic Financial Management," "Corporate and Financial Decisions," and "Dynamic Competitive Strategy."
