Divestitures are often miscomprehended as means for corporations to "take out the garbage." In fact, divesting can be a tactical decision that's profitable for both the parent company and the divested unit. Companies may decide to divest for legal, tactical or market-based motives, and divestitures can take many forms, including spin-offs, carve-outs, leveraged buyouts and management buyouts. Whatever the case, once a business decides it is time to divest, by what means the parent handles the process that is divesting is vital to the success of the divestiture. In this regard, supervisors play a vital role in establishing a relationship between the parent and divested unit, as in running the process in general. Understanding all of these features will help companies to optimize their change efforts.
