Barriers to Exit

Prohibitive costs associated with leaving a sector or market. For example, if a company operating in several sectors wishes to divest itself of its automotive interests, it may have a difficult time selling permanent assets or laying off workers because of high severance costs. Barriers to exit may discourage a company from divesting, or prevent it altogether. Barriers to exit are most common in sectors with high fixed costs.
