Unbundling
The process of taking over a large company with several different lines of business, and then, while retaining the core business, selling off the subsidiaries to help fund the takeover. Investopedia Says:
In other words, unbundling occurs when a company purchases another for its most valuable divisions (its crown jewels) with little desire for the other aspects of the business. Related Terms:
