CORPORATE RESTRUCTURING AS A CORPORATE ACTION
Jan. 4, 2021 • sakshi arya
Growth in a business organization is primarily either organic or inorganic. Organic growth results through the organization’s own internal strategies such as capital restructuring or business restructuring. Such internal strategies result in increased customer base, higher sales, and revenue. This, however, does not result in a change in the corporate entity. Inorganic growth, on the other hand, is often attained by enhancing output and business reach through mergers, acquisitions, amalgamations, takeover and other corporate restructuring which result in a change in the corporate entity.
