I really can't understand the advantages of having subsidiaries except for the following:
1. Stock dividends
2. Ability to sell the stock later
3. Using the subsidiaries' cash to purchase stock in other companies
4. Ability to issue stock to the parent company directly
That's about it.
We need more control such as:
1. Changing the subsidiaries' strategies (retail, manufacturing, real estate...etc.) - So we can have different companies each focused on a certain segment. Then, we should have further control over the markets (product class, mega class, location...etc.) they penetrate.
2. We should also control how much of the profit % is sent to the parent company.
3. Control over firing and hiring the COO, CMO and CTO is also important. Why should I be stuck with the original founder of the company?
