Divestitures aren’t just mergers in reverse – they’re complicated, counter-intuitive transactions that include carve-outs, spin-offs, liquidations, split-offs, exchanges and tracking stocks. Today, untangling a business unit from its parent is more difficult than ever, especially since the parent organization, spin-off and buyer may all have different agendas. To get the results you expect, it’s critical to maintain operational excellence while managing potential conflicts between the announcement and final execution.
