Buy-ins and Buy-outs:New Strategies in Corporate Management

Management buy-outs have become a permanent feature of international business. Despite the well-publicised problems with several recent large buy-outs, there can be little doubt that management buy-outs, buy-ins and leveraged buy-outs will continue. Increasing concern with performance has meant the possible re-evaluation of corporate structuring and restructuring as managers seek to improve their company’s competitiveness in an effort to exploit the new opportunities available for international business in the 1990s. There have been many practical guides to the subject but few have attempted the comprehensive analysis provided by this new book. It covers all the key issues concerning a management buy-out and will be of great value to business managers, lawyers, accountants and financiers, and anyone interested in buy-out research. Written by experts from the Centre of Management Buy-Out Research, the only centre of its kind in the world, it draws upon the most extensive database on buy-outs available.
