| dc.description.abstract | This paper takes an overview of two prime concerns of corporate management in the recent times, viz., shareholder value management and corporate restructuring. The paper begins with a brief discussion on the emergence of shareholder value management as the main raison d etre of corporate managements in the market economies, a concern that is yet to agitate Indian board rooms and investors. The paper then goes on to discuss the phenomenon of corporate restructuring that is sweeping the industrial world and examines some of the principal methods of corporate restructuring and their underlying motives. It concludes with a brief discussion on the rising trend of restructuring activities undertaken by the Indian corporate sector. The paper seeks to confine itself to the broader issues such as the motives and methods of corporate restructuring rather than legal or tax minutiae around which are structured specific transactions. | en |
