The Canadian dissolving pulp industry faced significant challenges when disposing of assets. Companies in the industry developed strategies to maximize value, including selling assets to employees at a discount.
The framework was developed by Michael E. Porter as part of his work on competitive strategy. It is based on the idea that companies face significant challenges when disposing of assets in a declining industry, and that the mechanism of asset disposition can have significant implications for their strategic decisions.
