Restructuring
The need to restructure could be associated with the loss of competitive advantage, which may require near-term resolutions from external stakeholders. For example, consider the case of financial capital; a firm represents an internal capital market: the corporate allocating capital between the different businesses through the capital expenditure budget.
“Which is more efficient, the internal capital markets of companies or the external capital market?”.
Companies have two key advantages:
By maintaining a balanced portfolio of cash generating and cash using businesses, firms can avoid the costs of using the external markets, including the margin between borrowing and lending rates and the heavy cost of issuing new debt and equity companies have better access to information on the financial prospects of their businesses than that typically available to external financiers.
