| Abstract: | The restructuring of Thorn EMI transformed a diversified conglomerate tradign at a diversification discount into a focused music company, while creating considerable value for shareholders. At the peak of its diversification, the conglomerate lacked sufficient funds for investment in its flagship music division. During its restructuring, this lack was remediated by raising cash through asset sales and reinvesting the proceeds in the company's core music activities. |
