Show that the company has a medium and long term strategy. Sell company interests in peripheral subsidiaries or businesses. Alternately, buy into businesses with related products or services. Get listed on foreign exchanges. Maintain good public relations with market analysts and the financial press. If the company does become a takeover target, consider a management buyback of the company or a partial sale or merger with a friendly trading partner.
