There are various reasons a company may dissolve, such as having no remaining assets or liabilities, or facing financial troubles. Many companies take on debt to fund new products but are unable to produce items that sell well. This can lead to losses and an inability to repay creditors. Share prices and market value decline in these situations. Dissolving the company is then the only option left to clear debts and satisfy shareholders. Nokia dissolved and merged with Microsoft as its products no longer met consumer needs, demonstrating how failing to adapt can force a company to end. A company may dissolve if shareholders approve, through voting or compromise, or if the board of directors authorizes it when no shareholders remain.
