2. Analyze the market conditions and competitor landscape relevant to the business unit.
3. Conduct a valuation analysis based on financial performance and growth prospects.
4. Develop a set of exit strategy options (e.g., divestiture, spin-off, IPO) and evaluate each against the strategic objectives.
5. Recommend the most suitable strategy, including a step-by-step implementation plan and risk mitigation.
