Undertake on New Ventures: One of the main reasons companies update or change their goals is to switch to new ventures and sectors. A business goal, when defined in the MoA, limits the business scope of an organization. Sometimes, as companies grow, they need to enter other support sectors to stay competitive. Therefore, products and services are expanded due to the vertical and horizontal expansion of the organization and, therefore, the activities undertaken by the organization. When starting a company, directors may not specify these services and products at the time of merger. Therefore, before engaging in such activities, the company should make necessary changes in its objectives and business activities.

Company Takeover:

When one company is taken over by another company, management undergoes a major upheaval. The new company may want to retain the name, logo and other branding agents to invest in the built-in market value, but may want to take the business in a different direction. In such cases, the goods of the purchased company may not meet the views or requirements of the new management. Therefore, they need an update to make the business grow and expand further. These changes can be made after or before the takeover as per the terms discussed during the negotiations.
