Ashford University Exit Planning of a Company Discussion
Question Description
You have managed well and your economic valued added (EVA) calculations suggest you understand how to manage using techniques that increase value (see Week 5 lecture for EVA information). You and your partner decided it is time to revisit the exit strategy you developed soon after you started the business. Unfortunately, the initial exit strategy is too vague to be of any use, and you must develop a new exit strategy.
Your analysis of your business suggests the best exit option for you are going public (IPO) or locating and selling the business to a strategic buyer. Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages (risks) associated with each approach.
As you develop your response, focus on the following information (you are encouraged to go beyond the text for information):
- There are risks associated with each approach. Be sure to focus on one or more major risks.
- Is an exit strategy a strict quantitative decision or do personal considerations (qualitative factors) come into play?
- Offer us a link to a video or an article that complements your answer to the items above.
