Understanding our organization's deeper reason for being
60 Min. Q & A
Let’s play the Corporate Serial Killer Game. Suppose you could sell the company to someone who would pay a price that everyone inside the company agrees is more than fair (even with a very generous set of assumptions about the expected future cash flows of the company). Suppose further that this buyer would guarantee stable employment for all employees at the same pay scale after the purchase but with no guarantee that those jobs would be in the same industry. Would you accept the offer? Why or Why not? Why is it important that the company continue to exist?
