Summary:

`A selection of very interesting perspectives on private equity from
a collection of leading academics.' - Guy Fraser-Sampson, author of
Private Equity as an Asset Class `This book is a timely and important
collection of papers on the financial and real effects of private
equity. It is crucial that policymakers know the evidence on these
transactions, as opposed to the folklore that permeates the popular
press. This comprehensive and penetrating collection of studies
frames and answers the most important questions policymakers are
asking about private equity.' - Donald S. Siegel, University at
Albany, SUNY, US Private Equity and Management Buy-outs provides a
balanced view of the often polarized private equity debate. This
careful and objective analysis of the presence of private equity in
buy-out firms reviews the effects of this ownership transfer in terms
of firm performance and survival, thus placing private equity in a
broader context of implications for value creation. The analysis
provides an overview of international trends in private equity and
develops a conceptual framework for understanding the heterogeneity
of private equity deals. Systematic evidence from large-scale studies
of private equity and buy-outs are used to shed light on short - and
longer-term economic and social effects. For the first time the
broader scope of the key issues now facing private equity and
buy-outs are brought together in the contributions herein. The book
includes highlights such as: * empirical evidence on a special
organizational form of private equity; * examination of backed
buy-outs (perspectives from strategy, finance, HRM and management
accounting); * discussion on the level of PE involvement; *
challenging further debate on economic and social key issues
regarding policy implications and a future research agenda. Academics
and researchers - postgraduate and above - in business schools and
schools of economics will find this book enlightening. It will also
hold great interest for practitioners in the fields of mergers and
acquisitions, general, strategic and financial management, and
corporate entrepreneurship and corporate governance.
