Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2013 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 7,5, Erasmus University Rotterdam (Strategic Management), language: English, abstract: Recent changes in the market for private equity have led investors to shift their attention away from market beta and towards generating alpha through the exploration of growth opportunities. PE firms increasingly use active ownership to implement these new growth plans. Buy and build strategies have emerged as a feasible and lucrative strategy of active ownership. The add-on acquisitions required when pursuing this strategy and the need to create value through synergistic effects necessitate post-acquisition integration efforts. Despite its relevance, researchers in the field of strategic management and finance have paid little attention to buy and build strategies. Moreover, they have yet to bridge the findings by scholars and practitioners on post-acquisition integration and active ownership. This paper seeks to fill this gap by answering the research question of how PE firms contribute to the integration process and how they handle task and affective conflicts and exercise management control with regard to the cooperation between the PE firm and the management of the portfolio company. Previous work has linked active ownership to capabilities and found that prior business experience is a strong predictor of active ownership, meaning a high level of contribution by the investment firm. This paper complements this work by analyzing active ownership of private equity firms in the context of post-acquisition integration in buy and build strategies and finds a direct link between capabilities and active ownership through four explanatory theory-building case studies. Birkinshaw et al. (2000)’s study on post-acquisition integration is used as a guiding concept in this paper. They distinguish between task integration, which is defined as the identification and realization of operational synergies, and human integration, which is defined as the creation of positive attitudes towards the integration and shared identity among employees. This paper creates a practical Framework for Integration Management on this notion and extends it by additional academic literature and relevant studies of consulting firms. A number of working propositions are derived from the literature and linked to the framework. Each proposition is then tested through within-case analysis and across-case comparison. Based on the evidence, three propositions are revised or extended whereas six propositions are supported. [...]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Management Buyouts (MBOs) first came to prominence in the US during the early 1980s, and have subsequently become a global phenomenon and a highly significant transaction within the corporate restructuring landscape Although much recent attention has focused on private equity (PE) backed buyouts, these are only a subset of the total MBO market. The Routledge Companion to Management Buyouts takes a much broader definition, reviewing the current state of research and theory and where further developments are likely to occur and incorporating PE and non-PE backed buyouts, as well as variations such as management buy-ins and management-employee buyouts. It goes beyond the purely financial perspective, exploring the many different aspects of management buyouts and incorporating related disciplines including strategy, organizational change, and HRM providing the first truly comprehensive authoritative resource on the topic. Expertly edited, and drawing on international scholarship, this unique volume will be an invaluable sourcebook on MBOs for researchers and advanced students as well as those interested in the broader areas of corporate restructuring and ownership change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of management buy-outs (MBO) on strategy and managementcontrol systems (MCS) is little understood. Previous research by Jones(1992) focused on efficiency-enhancing buy-outs that were a feature ofthe early development of the market. However, MBOs are heterogeneousand more recent developments have involved ownership changes thatstimulate entrepreneurial practices. The novel contribution of thispaper is to use Simons' (1995) classification of beliefs systems,boundary systems, diagnostic and interactive control systems to extendJones' study to these newer forms of MBO. Within-case analysis andcross-case comparisons from four buyout firms are used to capture theinteraction between management control systems and competitivestrategy formulation, implementation and modification. This evidencesupports arguments that buy-out managers undertake efforts inbalancing the traditional feedback systems with the newer systems thatstimulate opportunity seeking and learning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2006 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,0, University of Hull, language: English, abstract: It is a desire of many managers to lead a company not on behalf of others, but as an independent manager and owner. A Buy-Out can make this possible. It is usually an exciting, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for managers to own a significant stake in their business. Thereby they can work as entrepreneurs on own risk and make substantial decisions personally. However it can also be a major distraction, because managers must resolve many important issues regarding the structure of the transaction and the raising of funds, while attending to the normal running of the business. The main objective of this work is to obtain a comprehensive overview of theoretical (literature review) and practical (case study analysis) success factors for Buy-Outs. In the first part different Buy-Out forms are defined and distinguished from each other regarding their special features. Afterwards the recent development of Buy-Out financings in the UK and in Europe is analysed, whereby the main focus is on the German market. The second part is concerned with the structure and substantial elements of a Buy-Out. Here the process and the elements of the financing structure as well as the involved persons and their motives are highlighted. The third and main part summarises the critical success factors for management and financial investor using a "checklist for success". Hereupon the results from the case study analysis of VITALIS Ltd. are presented containing the four key success factors for their Management Buy-Out.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a dataset of over 3,000 leveraged buyout transactions, including performance data, Nicolaus Loos analyses how financial investors create economic value through their investments. He shows that various exogenous factors with respect to timing, industry, public market as well as deal specific factors can statistically be related to a buyout deal's performance. He also provides evidence of a "GP effect" in leveraged buyouts, i.e. that certain characteristics of a Private Equity firm and its investment professionals as well as a firm's buyout strategy approach and certain buyout target characteristics are important success factors.
