Old Mutual
By: Tarun Khanna, Krishna G. Palepu and Kirsty O'Neil-Massaro
Abstract
Designed to explore the demutualization and listing overseas of one of Africa's largest financial institutions, Old Mutual, and the effects that these actions have on South Africa's domestic capital markets. Explores the particular difficulties that arise as a result of having to educate the historically disenfranchised part of South Africa's population about the change in organizational structure (from a mutual organization to a publicly owned corporate entity), capital markets, and globalization. The emphasis is on understanding the interaction between institutional context and corporate strategy. Includes color exhibits.
