TLDR
In this paper, a planning framework for managing a self-renewal is presented, where the authors focus on product extensions and business rejuvenations. But they do not address the problem of divesting "dog" businesses due to increased stakeholder activism.Abstract:

A planning framework for managing such a self-renewal is outlined.read more
