Stealth ownership

Stealth ownership occurs when a larger corporation purchases a smaller enterprise but maintains the packaging and advertising strategies of that smaller company.^[1] It is common for the purchaser not to disclose that it owns the smaller company in hopes of maintaining the acquired company's image.^[1] This phenomenon is very common within the organic movement and is considered part of the Big Organic movement that began in the late 1990s.^[1]
