horizontal divestiture en · NOUN
Meanings
-
(countable, uncountable) The sale or disposal of a business unit or assets to a competing company that operates at the same level of the supply chain.
No horizontal divestitures were required. The antitrust case itself seems to have slowed technological progress, and it did nothing to make the market any more competitive than it already was in the static sense.
