Recommendation

Sammon VG has evolved as part of a large and successful corporation, in a highly promising market. The emergence of the internationalized economic crisis has reduced the purchasing price of the subsidiary, but not its potential. Other threats and weaknesses can easily be overcome. The final recommendation is as such in favor of purchasing the Groups' subsidiary in Dubai.
