This alternative is frequently picked when an organization has almost no potential and the esteem's entirety of the organization's individual resources are more than the organization overall. Instead of utilizing the most up to date viewpoint of corporate procedure as depicted by Porter in 'Corporate Strategy: A Conceptual Framework', I trust it would be better to use "the last major perspective on corporate strategy-value based strategy, and its emphasis on optimizing shareholder value" when evaluating corporate raiding, because each business is treated as a discrete entity. Though jobs are lost when liquidating a company, the ultimate goal of a company from a value based strategic perspective is to maximize shareholder value. By these guidelines, Gekko is a skilled strategist, ignoring his immoral and illegal methods. In Gekko's speech during the Teldar Paper Co. annual meeting, he reports, "In the last seven deals that I was involved with, there were 2.5 million stockholders who have made a pre-tax profit of $12 billion." Through his work, Gekko effectively created a greater economic value out of companies. I do not agree with the movie's portrayal bias of Gekko's sole purpose being to dismantle companies in order to make money fast. Rather, his sole purpose is to maximize a company's economic value. For example, Gekko does not dismantle Teldar Paper Co. after acquiring it. Rather, he restructures the management and company's strategy because he sees potential in the company. In order to further illustrate my case, I would like to take a look at the Blue Star Airlines deal. Blue Star Airlines was a new and relatively small player in the airline industry with 80 medium body jets and 300 pilots flying to Florida, Canada, the Northeast, Caribbean, with great slots in major cities. The current situation with the airline, as Bud Fox put it, involved "half-assed management being decimated by a price war they cannot winThey are ripe to fall.
