Auctions versus negotiations

Article Abstract:

Companies for sale can maximize their earnings by conducting an auction. A firm may either negotiate with prospective buyers or auction off the company. However, if a very serious bidder is anticipated, an auction is usually held. An auction is also conducted when it is feared that company value may be reduced due to exposure of confidential financial data to bidders. In both cases, a company's decision to auction itself off instead of negotiating with buyers is a wise move.
