liquidation

liquidation is the process by which a company (or part of a company) is brought to an end,
and the assets and property of the company redistributed. Liquidation is also sometimes
referred to as winding-up or dissolution, although dissolution technically refers to the last
stage of liquidation. The process of liquidation also arises when customs,
an authority or agency in a country responsible for collecting and safeguarding customs
duties, determines the final computation or ascertainment of the duties or drawback
accruing on an entry.
Example :

Divest
Divest is To sell off. Often referred to in the context of a company selling off divisions that
are either a poor fit within the overall corporate strategy, or showing poor financial
performance.
Example :

Morton Thiokol, a manufacturer of chemicals, salt, and rocket motors, executed a

spin-off when it divided its operations into two companies in 1990. Shareholders
exchanged shares in Morton Thiokol for an equivalent value of shares in the two new
companies, Morton International and Thiokol, Inc. Thiokol's performance since the
split has improved, partially due to its 1995 acquisition of a majority interest in
Howmet, maker of blades for jet engines and gas turbines. In May 1998 Thiokol was
renamed Cordant Technologies Inc.

AT&T was forced to divest its 22 local Bell operating companies in 1984.
Shareholders were issued new shares in AT&T, which retained its long distance,
manufacturing, and research divisions. As of the late 1990s, those shareholders also
held stock in eleven new companies, including Ameritech, Bell Atlantic, BellSouth,
Lucent Technologies, Pacific Telesis, Nynex, Southwestern Bell, SBC Communications,
and US West as a result of that spin-off.

strategic partnership
A strategic partnership is a formal alliance between two commercial enterprises, usually
formalized by one or more business contracts but falls short of forming a
legal partnership or, agency, or corporate affiliate relationship.
Typically two companies form a strategic partnership when each possesses one or more
business assets that will help the other, but that each respective other does not wish to
develop internally.
Example :

Nickelodeon and global tv

Ac Milan and Fly emirates
