Corporate Breakups

In Corporate Breakups: The Hot New Growth Strategy, Larry Popelka talks about how some large corporations are using corporate breakups to spur growth and innovation. Corporate breakups result in smaller firms, better focus and improved management capabilities.

“Perhaps the biggest problem with large companies today, though, is organizational inefficiency. Most companies describe their breakups as allowing them to “increase focus.” But what they really mean is it has simply become too darn hard to manage and grow big companies.”
