| Abstract | Siemens AG announced Carve out of one of its cross division business Siemens
IT Solutions and Services (SIS). . The purpose of this document is to study carve
outs in general to get an understanding of what is carve out, why companies do
carve outs and what are the consequences of carve outs.
The objective of this study of carve out is to gain an understanding about carve
out as a business strategy and understand why companies do carve outs and what
is the effect on the business in terms of shareholder value (or destruction) among
others.
Once a basic understanding about carve outs is obtained, it is be used to apply to
the case of SIS carve out from Siemens. As is the case with most carve outs, the
actual motive behind the carve out is not explicitly stated, or the official
statement does not state all the motives of the management. The study will try to
address which motives for carve out could be applicable to SIS carve out and
what could be the possible consequences applicable to SIS as a result of this
