divestment

« Back to Glossary Index

refers to the strategic decision of a company to sell, spin off, or otherwise dispose of its assets, subsidiaries, or business units. This can be done to streamline operations, focus on core competencies, or respond to changing market conditions. It may be done by selecting areas that do not align with the current goals of the company or to raise revenue where other sources of finance may be too expensive or unobtainable.
