Answer:

Diverstiture or Selling assets from another division to pay for Bryan Food

Explanation:

Divestiture

This is the process of disposing a company's business unit or assets through bankruptcy, closure, exchange or sale for different purposes.

Reasons for DIvestiture

1. To sell off redundant business units - business units that are not being used or not generating income but are incurring expenses can be sold off to get some gains.

2. To generate funds - Selling a business unit for cash is a source of income. This is the choice or last resort of Sara Lee to acquire Bryan Foods

3. To ensure business survival or stability- Can be an option to declaring complete bankruptcy or closing off business completely

4. To increase resale value- Selling individual unit assets of a business is more profitable than selling the organisation assets en-mass or as a whole piece

Sara Lee Corporation and Bryan Foods

Sara Lee already has a variety of industries, apparently from these variety there are those ones that after much consideration could be redundant units or a not generating as much income or profit as expected.

Because Bryan Foods represents 'a tremedous' opportunity, with the potential to make Sara Lee more successful, the last resort is to pick assets or business units in Sara Lee that may be redundant or potentially generate less than Bryan Foods will and sell them in order to acquire Bryan Foods.

This is the last resort for Sara Lee.
