According to the real options theory, Greenfield ventures is advantageous as it provides a business with an opportunity to establish new subsidiary units in the market. Besides, the business becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary, a factor that makes it maintain full control. However, in the case of Telefonica, the acquisition was popular since it had better acquisition-based strategic flexibility. Besides, using Greenfield involves buying land and building new facilities in the new markets and may take a lot of time.
