DII was asked to design a strategy to give a parent company effective control over its subsidiary within the existing ownership/option structure. This included control of key personnel decisions and control of corporate strategy and budget. DII analysis found that employing a strategy using financial incentives rather than threatening to exit the joint venture would influence the level of urgency of the discussions, the individuals’ negotiating positions, and the final outcome of the process. The Client, after using this stance as well as employing the specific strategies the DII analysis suggested, was able to achieve its management control.
 

Corporate Directives often fail to be implemented due to office or department resistance. A fortune 500 client with international offices was planning significant change in their corporate products and policies. With DII’s assistance our Client was able to determine where resistance was going to occur to such change and how to mitigate the security problems before they occurred.
